This may be what you are looking for (ebay). The bracket part number is 53011002 from 96 to 99 (that's all I checked). There's a thread on NAXJA about the bearing replacement.

my local dealer didn't have the hub. i asked if they could locate one and overnight it to me and they said if it isn't in one of "their" warehouses they can't get it. i called jeep and they forwarded me to a dealer in new Hampshire, i think they were called lambert? anyways the part was $200 and i paid $100 to have it overnight shipped to me. so it cost me $300. it fixed my squeak. the $200 surprised me after reading this thread.

Just adding on to this (was just searching for a solution for mine.. About cried when I saw the $300 price tag). The part number for the hub bearing is 808129. You can find it on rock auto for next to nothing... http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=2771188&jnid=472&jpid=0 and I find a video on removal and install. Hope it helps.

You should be able to remove the fan mounting bracket and have a machine shop renew the bearings on it if all else fails.

Probably right. That's a decent option in the event that the hub bearing supply goes south. I'm sure it would be cheaper than replacing the actual bracket, given the price tag. I think the replacement hub bearing is probably the cheapest option though.

ANy help would be greatly appreciated!!
I think you can only buy these used, but I have a machine shop and I have been rebuilding these because you can’t buy them new, they are 225.00 with a rebuilder core, let me know if you are interested.

The fan pulley bearing is replaceable. Omix-Ada 17104.83. You will need a press or air tools.
