Welcome to the wonderful world of Volvo maintenance. ;-) This is why a used Volvo can be had for chump change, and that can be a good thing if you can twist your own wrenches. My '05 V50 came with a dealer invoice suggesting the previous owner needed to spend $10K on suggested maintenance. I spent well under $1K and did a lot more than the "list", including fixing (as opposed to a $6K replacement) the transmission, struts, shocks, control arms, etc.).

Forget trying to fix the alternator - just not worth the hassle and down time - just get a rebuilt unit and you'll be 90% certain of the car going to the junkyard with that alternator still working. The only other thing I'd add would be that it's a GREAT idea to get a $3 mechanic's stethoscope and making 100% sure that it IS the alternator bearing and not the belt tensioner bearing (which is a whole lot cheaper and easier to replace).
