I'm adding this new thread to summarize my experience from the bearing failure in my alternator.

Alternator Needed
The bearings in the alternator on my G1800S failed. A new one sells for over $200.
I found one site that lists this as the same alternator for the following:

Iowa Motorparts sells bearings for this alternator for $3.95, three are needed for a whopping total of $11.85.

The above picture is an exploding view of the alternator.
There is a 17mm nut (160) on the end of the alternator opposite the pully. The shaft (70) of the alternator is pressed in from the pully side, through the pully, and through the bearings, and various bushings shown in the picture.
I was able to separate the alternator by removing the not, and prying the rotor (040) off of the stator plate (110). The one bearing stayed in the plate, the rest on the rotor and shaft.
I was able to press the bearing out of the plate with a hammer and socket, although a press would have made this easier.
I then pressed (pounded) the shaft out of the rotor, pully, and remaining bearings by putting nut back on to protect the threads of the shaft, and then hitting it out with the pulley supported by an impact socket large enough for the bolt end of the shaft to fit loosely in. Again, a press would have helped.
As the old story goes, "assembly is the reverse if disassembly."
