    Would this be on a TD5?

    One recommendation I have had is to put the bearing in the freezer the night before, and run the engine till it's warm. That way the bearing slides in without much force.

    Also Check the viscous fan coupling, if there is any play in the bearing then I bet that is the cause of the idler bearing failure.
