I am about to pretty up my impeller fan, is the bearing replaceable? Does anyone know the part number as I could not find it on Pelican

Thanks

 

Yes, the fan bearing can be replaced. You have two options, to replace it with the original style or go with the RS style. Pelican carries both. Use the key word of "fan bearing" to search Pelican. You will see them.

Original = 964-106-051-30
RS = 993-106-051-80

No affliations.

 

Rob...this is the bearing that is in the impeller blade itself...see pic...view from back side of blade

 

its a bear to get out, You need a puller and heat and cold. they were $125 or so when i replax
ced my fan a couple years ago. Careful you dont break a blade.

 

I had to use a gear puller to press the bearing assembly out of my fan, I then used a press to press in the new one. I'm not aware that you can replace the bearing within the assembly itself. It appeared to me that Porsche expected you to buy a new bearing assembly when service was needed.

 

i am a buit confused here, I dont want to disassemble the bearing in the impeller , I want to replace it

Thanks jim, if stuff on these cars was easy to do they would be old VW beetles.. the bearing in there seems tight but i dont like the feel of it, want to get the impeller powder coated and should not leave the bearing in..

got a part number anyone?

the cheapest place i found to buy it was Sunset Porsche. Give them a call

 

The bearing is affixed within the steel fan hub. The fan hub is what you replace and it costs somewhere around $120 - $140 these days.

Press the old one out of the fan, refinish the fan, and install the new hub. Ask the powdercoating place to mask the raised portion on the outside of the fan (where the three bolts go).

Ahhh so the bearing that is stuck in there now should have stayed with the fan hub, so when I get a new fan hub assembly it will come with that bearing...

All good..

 

In your pic in post 3 the 'fan hub' is still pressed into the fan; you'll pull or press this out and then press the new one in.

A little heat on the fan will make the hub come out easier.

Here's a (swiped ) pic of the hub unit:

 

Thanks again, looks like i got the fan hub removal to do, Feral, that pic really helped
