Alternator

So, I've realized that my alternator is starting to squeal from the pulley and it's pretty loud. So I was wondering if it is possible to change the pulley, or should I just replace the entire alternator? Opinions, suggestions, etc, etc, etc.

That's what I figured as well, then here is another question, probably one I should save for the auto store, but I'll try anyway, when you buy a new alternator, does it come with the pulley? Or does it vary by brand?

I would expect so, unless you get a rebuild kit.

It's whenever I get into gear, and after I'm in gear it happens all the time. It's even louder and worse with the A/C on. I just need a new alternator, I realized that
