93 Runner Fan Clutch Cover Plate

[MickeyMouse]

Help!! The bearing on my 93 4Runner v6 Fan Clutch Cover plate has went belly up. Toyota wants $660 for one of these babies (whew!).

Anyone know where I can get one of these cheaper or someone might have one at a better price?

Other than that, I'm going no where unless me and my kids start giving blood to finance the dumb part. I can't believe how much it cost, I was thinking around $200, but when he said 660, I just about fell over.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Ok, I found one at a local wrecking yard that they will pull for $175... what do you think?

Toyota wanted $600 for the part or the part and install?

Thanks Mike,

I ended up finding one at a local place called BAP Imports. New for $200. My Dad and I (mainly him) got it installed today. If you've never had to do this before, let me tell you it's a chore and takes two people, specially to get it back in past the timing belt tension pully. If you ever have to go this deep to do this, get the timing belt also. I found them everyplace for $20. I had mine changed by Toyota last year for $700... I paid to much.

Thanks for the help!

btw - I actually found one online at A1 Auto Parts (http://www.1aauto.com/) for $139, but it would take 5 days to get here. Overnight shipping cost $40, so might as well buy it locally.
