Not too sure about the bearings, but I've replace the electronic guts in alternators a half dozen times. I'd tend to say yes you should be able to handle it.
They're very simple once you get them apart.

Depends on what alternator you have. The older SI alternators are easy to take apart and rebuild. The newer CS style alternators are harder to take apart because they need to be unsoldered to split the halves.
