oem

I tried to save a few bucks and bought a clutch online for my 606. It leaked within a few months. Bought the current one from the dealer. So far, so good.

They are rebuildable. I would do that first.

How would you go about replacing the bearing on a 602 fan clutch? Mine has failed after only 1 year.

You don't replace the bearing. You can refill with silicone fluid, but it's not worth the hassle unless you have no money and lots of free time. And then it will probably leak out again...

Shame connerm never replied with the brand name of the dud.
