Alternators are pretty simple to go through, the biggest need is usually a rattle gun to get the pulley nut loose, and a good iron to unpick the field coil wires tidily. I use a large, hot tip on an electronics soldering station and it is great - you want to melt the solder quickly without boiling everything around it. Solder sucker and desoldering braid are handy for cleanup before reassembly.
Front and rear bearings are sealed type, provided you just use a garden hose for water pressure (not pressure washer) when degreasing you won't wash the grease out.
Have a crack at rebuilding one, it's very satisfying and quite cheap.
