Default 2003 ZO6 Alternator Chirp

So the pulley bearings on my alternator have started an annoying chirp. Has anyone replaced just the pulley? I have no voltage or any other power issues. Or should I just replace the entire alternator and call it good?
Thanks!

Good luck getting the right alternator. Just because it fits does not mean it is the correct one for a C5
Cheap, Fast, Reliable pick 2 you can't have all 3
