Ok so I have a few bearing shops I've contacted, awaiting to hear from a few. I'm having a difficulty getting the dimensions of the omix Ada 808129 bearing. One of the reviews on this crap bearing, he modified an nsk 885586. That is the style of bearing and dimensions are available for this. The bearing suppliers pull up nothing with part# 808129.
Does anyone know the correct dimensions of the fan pulley bearing?
Literally hang up the phone for the guy to research the part dimensions and my fan bearing just exploded on the highway taking out the belt, fan, radiator and a timing cover that the pully sawed into!!! Now I REALLY need a bearing that works. Fml

Follow up as someone asked. Part used was Nsk 885586, still going strong. DO NOT BUY OMIX PART OR ELSE! read the horror stories, I walked that path already.
I used the part you probably mentioned, think its a Ford part, both front and rear shafts must be (carefully and slowly) cut to length, dont overheat and boil the grease
This is where it could get ugly for ya son
If its anything like my RHD '96, that bearing is within an alloy casting bolted to the block
If so, it will be very very unlikely to be re-useable
used unit would be needed
that is where my spare comes in handy, I whipped the whole unit and swapped them, mine would have been toast within a few more miles..it was squealing and metal flakes, new bearing took a wgile to get here
also, only accurate way to cut and install new bearing...and have everything line up...is to use the old parts as a template
be aware that installation of the bearing would be easy to wreck it pressing it in the improper way, think about it carefully
