I remember someone from here did it. What I can see from parts manual are two "collars" at pulley side and one ball bearing on the other side. Just try it and post some pics

It maybe just easyier and cheaper to replace it. I've been looking into replacements for my car and have found used one with low miles for $60 shipped.

I am fairly sure the alternator from 88-93 Pontiac Lemans 1.6 SOHC should fit. Short of that, try www.car-parts.com and look for Lanos or Aveo alternator

A rebuilt for a 1.6 lanos will run about $200.00 USD at AutoZone ( In Canada? you can call autozone at (800) 288-6966 for a quote.)
I personally think a rebuilt is a better way to go. Yes it is cheaper to replace bad bearings. But it's a bit of work and usually if the bearings are going out? the alternator will follow suite shortly. There is a company in the USA that rebuilds them completly for a reasonable price. I will see if I can find their link and add it to this post when I do.
EDIT:
This company has a great reputation.
(and no, I don't work for them)
