I’m thinking that by changing the bearing before it fails will help extend the life of the compressor. The MSRP on the clutch from dealer is $730. with the MSRP for the compressor being $945.
Yeah, The Stealer quoted me $750 just for the clutch. Got one from Phil at Fastlane for $148.

The bearing on my old and new pulleys was staked. Did you restake it or was the interference fit to your satisfaction?
