So I guess the fan bracket bearings are not replaceable

used a 3 jaw to get the fan clutch plate off, then pressed the bearing out but..

they must weld or press the outside rim then machine it down... I supose if I had a AL setup I could do the same but... oh well. had to try.

the bearing is pretty cool so that was a bonus... was not expecting it to be so long.

Yep, unfortunately this is a non serviceable part. The bearing is pretty long and beefy since there's quite a bit of torque on the unit.

Why remove it in the first place?

Why remove it in the first place?

because it had some play in it and it was clicking... so I knew I had to replace it anyways. figured I would see what happened when I removed it.

rock auto had one for $100 so... I'm sure I could have run it until it was squealing but since I had the thing tore down and radiator out figured do it now.
