Well....this weekend while in the process of fixing some of the problems as a result of my recent accident that the guys at the Insurance company and body shop didn't catch (alternator and upper radiator hose), I've found that my A/C Clutch and Mechanical Fan Bearing/Hub assembly are both bent. I've done some searching for the last couple of nights and it appears that the fan bearing/hub is pressed into that bracket, thus meaning the entire bracket has to be replaced.
I haven't had any luck looking online for either the clutch or bracket/bearing/hub assembly. The reason i'm looking is because Insurance is of course fighting me on fixing it, saying there was nothing wrong with it when they looked it over (BS!). So, i'm preparing for the possibility of having to fix all of this myself and trying to get an idea of what i'm looking at cost wise.
I'm taking it back to the body shop first thing Thursday morning because after calling them and explaining what I found, he wants to see it...so it looks like i'll be tearing into everything again Thursday morning to proove my point.
Any help on prices, or best places to get these parts is greatly appreciated. I'm more worried about the fan hub/bearing than I am the AC clutch...as from searching on here, not many have had to replace that bearing before.
