    I strongly reccomend replacing it unless you have access to a good machine shop that does ally rebuild and machining work...

    fan movement

    Totally agree with above,if the outer bearing housing is loose in the case those are your only options.
    If it is a shonky inner bearing,maybe replace with another.You really can`t
    tolerate movement in that area.

    Have a read of this thread...http://www.aulro.com/afvb/projects-t...ml#post1468359
    To date I've had no issues but others don't recommend this repair.

    Cheers, Kyle.

    I went with a bearing with tighter tolerances. The downside was it wouldn't shrink enough to be a easy fit. Mine as tight as a _____.

    Maybe just get a tighter bearing.

    Happy Days.

    Joel0407, that's the way to go, do you have a part number at all, or even a size to enable purchase a bearing before pulling it apart.

    Leave it with me for a bit. It'll be back in my past posts somewhere.

    It's in here

    The bearing I used was a KSM 5206-2RS bearing in C2 spec.

    C3 is the recommended but it's actually smaller to allow for heat expansion. If you get the C2 it will be bigger at room temperature. This is the advice I have any way.

    Happy Days
