Alternator bearings?

I just removed my alternator (original) on my 93. I installed Larry B's brushes. My truck is at 200K right now. While I have the alternator out, should I also replace the bearings - or should I just forget em? If so (replace the bearings); anyone happen to have a NAPA or Autozone part #, for the alternator bearings?

At 325K when my brushes went out. I had the rebuilder check the bearings and we decided to replace them at that time.
Couldn't hurt - better than pulling the starter again in 6 mos or a year.

Cowboy,
Thanks for the reply! I will take a look at the bearings, and go from there. Might as well, seeing as I have the alternator out

Man, when I read that I almost spit some of my Coors/Copenhagen through my nose.
