How to tell if alternator bearings are going......

About a year ago, I installed a gently used Bosch 65 amp alternator in the 1984 300DT. I believe the bearings may be going, however with the sound of the diesel engine running it is hard to tell.

If I disconnect the drive belts and turn the alternator by hand, could I hear any bearing problems? Do bad bearings make a squeal or sound when the alternator is turned by hand?
