The bearing itself is not riveted.

These rivets would have to be removed in order to remove the plate and get the bearing out. I’ll take some pics when I get a chance, as it's likely that my description makes no sense to anyone but me.

Re: You might want to check the alternator/pwr steering idler pulley

As promised, here are the pics. You can see in the first picture, the plate that's riveted onto the pulley, holding the bearing in place.

So, if you have this same pulley, you would need to do one of the following:
A) Drill out the old rivets, replace both the bearing and the rivets

or

B) Replace the whole pulley assembly

I chose to do the whole pulley rather than messing with the rivets, it's just a lot less of a hassle to me.
