300 TDi Viscous Fan Shaft Bearing

[Reef Inmate]

Hi there

Does any one know the part number of the bearing that the viscous fan shaft runs on and how to change it?

Thanks in advance to all the Gurus who know.

I have been told by our local parts suppliers I have to buy the whole cover at a huge cost.

Im sure I can get a bearing from a local bearing supply, just need the number and how to remove the old one and fit the new one without destroying the cover/castinghttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2009/11/856.jpg
