ML 320 A/C Compressor Clutch Pulley Bearing

[jgl1]

'98 ML 320 - A/C compressor clutch pulley bearing is worn. Is there an aftermarket source for this bearing?

M-B only offers a new clutch assembly... for over $700. Alternatively, one can purchase a new compressor, complete with clutch assy., for approx. $1100.


Markings on the bearing are:

Japan NSK F34 35BD522DUM18A

Might try MB number 000-230-70-11-88 with list of $651 for complete reman compressor w/clutch. Or NippDenso number 471.0293! TRY parts shop here

I'd try a bearing house or a Mercedes mechanic that might have some spare clutch parts laying around. Probably harder to find used clutch parts on something as new as an ML.
