Doing the timing belt on my s6 and I noticed the the bearing that the fan clutch attaches to is bad. Not sure if the bearing is replaceable or if I have to buy a new bracket. The bracket holds the alternator, ac compressor and power steering pump. Anyone have any experience with this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Had to order the whole ac bracket because the bearing isn't available. This ac bracket is Last one know to exist.. $750....

ECS tuning had them for $602: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...et/046903141d/

On another forum I got someone to cut the UrS6 fan bearing open to figure out a replacement. No conclusions (yet). Others have switched to the UrS4 bracket and bearing set-up.

There is a roller bearing and a ball bearing involved. No specs on either.
