So my '92 3.0 cooked the fan pulley bracket bearing thing.

I'm not looking forward to this job

I hear aisin is best so is this what I need?

LINK FIXED!!!!

LINK FIXED


Thanks guys!

 

I get nothing on that link.

They're difficult to come by without paying full price, which is SIGNIFICANT. If you can find one from a pick & pull that's in good shape, I recommend that. Aftermarket brands are subject to failure from what I hear.

I put a little motor oil around the bearing on mine whenever I have it out & let it soak in over a couple of hours. Extends the life greatly~

 

I also get nothing from it, the factory ones are $700. When this happened in our 4runner, I tried to press out the bearing and broke the aluminum housing, so I just cut it all out, switched to some shorter belts and got an electric fan.

 

I have been using a cheap ebay unit I bought years ago and it is still going strong. I did go for an autowrecker unit before that was in good shape, but that siezed up in a MacDonald's drive through one day.

 

OK lets give this another shot.


OK try this link

I just replaced mine not too long ago, 115$ at autozone.

 

Yeah I saw those but other threads here have complained of the dorman's being no good. Has yours held up?

I was looking for the aisin because if it is better quality, then I would have to do this job less often hopefully.

 

Yep thats it.

 

No issues outta mine thus far, with anything you buy, there will always be some that slip past quality control. I would venture it a lot better idea than used from a pic n pull.

 

AISIN FBT-006..... yes, that is it in your first link.

IIRC, you cant press out the bearing... There really is no "bearing" Its just the shaft thru the housing, and tapered rollers on the inside, I did manage to press the shaft out, than all the little rollers fell out, and I realized it was not something that could be repaired, and needed to be replaced.

Back when mine seized, autozone did not carry them, and I couldnt find after market ones anywhere... I ended up paying the $700+ the dealer wanted. I would gladly have paid $115 for 1 even if it only lasted a year... the one I paid $700 for only lasted 6 years

 

Awesome great reference!

Thanks all
