Thread: Fan bearing replacement is there a cheaper option?

I think Allan at British 4x4 down here sells the bearing kit etc.

JC

Hey thanks JC I gave him a call today and he sells the bearings for $99. It's in the mail! They don't sell the flange but he said find a wrecked xf or xd falcon water pump and cut one off the end of it. Will either do that or get one made up. cheers - Adam

Sounds like your on the way but have a read of this

Outline my take on the concept

If you followed the post that "roverrescue" put up you could have done the whole job for $40, just buy the falcon water pump and use the bearing and flange out of that, easy peasy, regards Frank.

Oh well Frank, now I have a spare bearing for next time it fails

Where did you get the flange from, the falcon one is much stronger than the standard LR flange, Regards Frank.

does the v8 have the same body part there or different assembly

Pretty sure the fan runs off the front of the water pump pulley whereas the TDi has a seperate bearing mounted in the timing cover plate, been a while since I worked on the V8, Regards Frank.
