Default Alternator Squeak

Ok I took the drive belt off because I had a squeak. During my check I discovered that my alternator is squeaking quite abit. It seems to be coming from the rear bearing in the alternator. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or is my only choice to replace it?The alternator is charging fine.

Sounds like a replacement alternator is in order.

Some good electrical places can replace the bearing, but these type shops are few and far between. I have one close to me that rewinds electric motors, etc that can have something like that done in a matter of minutes. Problem is, getting the rear bearing out of the diecast aluminum housing.
