So my alternator works and holds a charge however after letting it idle for about 5 minutes it gets pretty hot. I had swapped out the bearings from another alternator that were good but it's still getting hot. By hot I mean about 150 degrees F. Any ideas?

Oh okay, well I was taking a closer look and the alternator fan wasn't working. I hotwired it and it worked but maybe something shorted out? Any ideas? Thanks.
