Follow Up on Replacement - Das Boat back on the road!
Replaced the fan pulley bracket - about 3 hours total. The bearings were shot and some were AWOL.
I could see once it was apart that a rebuild with a new bearing would be difficult. I would up ordering the part from GermanStar ($125ish). I checked the neighboring pulleys - the idler pulley which bolts to the bracket had dry bearings but was still serviceable - there was no grease fitting (permanently lubed) so I worked in some light oil which had a teflon additive and it seemed to bring it back to life for now. The air pump was dragging a bit - perhaps either the bearings or clutch or both are shot. I saw a bearing replacement thread and will order the main pulley and vane bearings in the near future. Thanks again to those who helped. Das Boat is back on the road! |

Mine looked pretty bad too when I replaced it.
