I am looking for a fan hub bearing for the 2.8 CRD engine. Does anyone know of a bearing that works in the fan hub assembly?

I've looked extensively, and can't source the bearing. The cost of a new assembly makes an electric fan conversion more sensible as those fan hub bearings are only good for right about 150k miles

What do you do about belt routing? With the fan removed, the belt still goes over the fan hub pulley.

I've tried a few different ways.
Pressing out the bearing and install a bigger pulley where the idler that mounts on the fan mount is, is the easiest. Just takes a little bit of work to get the right sized belt.

There's a thread on here that has the part numbers. I would go that route as I've had trouble with the other configurations. I'll look for the thread

This may be the thread he is referring to?

Thanks WW! It's Flash that found a good pulley. Use that exactpulley, as I used a different gates pulley and it split every belt I put on it, couldn't figure out why though...

Has a search for a shaft bearing been done?
The bearing in question looks a lot like a shaft bearing, similar to what many water pumps have. That is its a double row with the shaft being an integral part of the bearing. I have replaced these sorts in water pumps (not VM 428).
Just a thought
