Alternator Whistling

A friend of mine said that my alternator pulley bearing could be shot causing it to whistle. It gradually gets louder with the throttle. Can I replace the bearing myself or will I need a new alternator>

A) are you sure it's the alt making the noise?
B) kinda doesn't matter if it's an alt, ps pump, etc...because if it's a bearing you can't replace it...new part time.
C) make sure you pinpoint the sound...

Yes, you can take the belt off to test & see if the noise goes away. Don't drive far if at all since you'll be running solely off the battery.
