Nick, I've always had luck with just replacing the fan pully and fan with
the earlier style
without the clutch. The plastic fan just bolts to the front of the water
pump pulley, and all
of your problems with this part go away - as does a lot of the noise.
Failing that - Go to NAPA or LORDCO and specify a 'Beck-Arnley' water pump -
it comes with the fan clutch bearing and at $80 its cheaper than the fan
clutch.
