Greetings All,

I am assuming that the original poster means that his fan clutch bearing went out on him. These bearings are pressed in the clutch housing and in most cases the early warning signs of the bearing going kapoot is the outer bearing shield seperates from the bearing and is visable when looking at the point where the shaft goes into the clutch assembly. I believe the clutch comes as an assembly, but perhaps the bearing can be purchased seperately and pressed in by a shop. If you have high mileage on your vehicle, say 140,000 plus miles, I'd also be pulling up on the water pump pulley to see if there is play, next worst thing to happen on a trip, overheated engine and possibly locked up at that.

Charles
