Default Which pulley? and some other questions..

I'm getting some bad squealing from the front end of my TA especially after it rains or in the mornings and I've narrowed it down to the top pulley connected to the alternator, I'm assuming it's called the alternator pulley but I just need to know the name of it so I can buy the right one to replace it.

Also my headlight motors are pretty loud when they go down and have been getting louder, does it mean they need replacement or is this pretty normal?

The alternator pulley itself is not a wear item, if that is where the noise is coming from it is probably the bearings in the alternator.

If it is the alternator would the whole thing have to be replaced?
