Fan Bearing replacment

[34ford]

Hi,

Currently replacing waterpump/belt etc on my crown motor. Have found the fan bearing needs replacing. Does anyone know the part number for this?

Have tried seaching the forum but unable to find it. I'm sure its there somewhere....

Is that mechanic or hydraulic fan?

What i meant to say was, im wanting to replace the bearing that sits inside the housing. ie. the part the fan bolts onto.

 

[Lextreme II]

Yes I understand that. I would like to know if Crown (we don't have it in the states) have mechanic or hydraulic fan. They would have different fan bearing.

oh, umm its a mechanic style fan/clutch setup

Then, it should be the mechanical/clutch fan. You should find it easily at any local auto part stores. Here in the U.S., all bearings for the 1UZFE are easy to be found.

As far as I know. Lexus doesn't sell fan bracket bearing by itself. They are sold a complete unit. I think if you can disassemble it and take the bearings to a local bearing shop they can match it. Otherwise, you would have to buy a complete housing.

Thanks Guys,

The bearing shop have the details now. Will see what they come up with.

Otherwise, you would have to buy a complete housing.

And those are expensive! I had to buy one for my engine, it was like 250 euro :Eyecrazy: (that's like 300 dollar or something)

Wouldn't it be cheaper to get the housing/shaft machined to suit a locally available bearing? Then if it fails again its easily fixed. This is what I've done to my hydraulic housing which is now just an idler.

After finding out the price for the housing $480+. I was thinking of the same thing. But as im not using the fan im going to remove it alltogether and run a smaller belt. Hoping i can find the right size belt.

Mike,

Belts com in 1" or 25mm increments so just go to your local rearing shop and order the belt to length.
