Is there a way to oil the pulley side bearing of the alternator for a 2004 Toyota Camry SE?
The thing squeaks (chirp, chirp) and it's definitely the bearing.
Thanks!

No there isnt. On this style bearing it usually means the grease is cooked out of it. Take care of it before it seizes.

Squirt it with water. If the noise goes away you know the bearing seal is open and the grease is gone. I had one of those.

Thanks, Look like I'll need a new one.
