(Bearing only!) 04-11 Ford Ranger 2.3 Fan Bearing Replacement

Everyone says you have to replace the entire timing cover which is a long job. this cuts your time down to a fraction. simple process. Will need a bearing puller/press, large sockets to fit around bearings and press, And a hammer. Be careful!

Happy to help!

Hi ! You have the video of when you remove the bearing from the timing cover of the ranger

[@MatthewB2000]

No, the mechanic said videos are "bad luck" haha!

[@ronhaefner7833]

Nice to see it really can be done. So far we have the old bearing out. Where did you get the bearing? From another cover?

[@MatthewB2000]

Yes, we did. I'm sure you can buy another bearing though

[@ronhaefner7833]

@@MatthewB2000 Could not find one, so we got it from a new cover. The repair worked out very well.

[@chuckhuckle]

You can't find another bearing from any parts outlet. I started checking when I saw this. I can get a replacement/new cover though.

[@ronhaefner7833]

@@chuckhuckle I had to pull the bearing from the new cover to install in the old cover. Have a nice shiny cover for the man cave now.

[@chriscusick6890]

I replaced the entire cover not a big deal at all. Getting the fan pulley off I found to be nearly impossible as it's pressed on. My cheap Chinese made 3 armed puller was incapable, even with heat, of pulling pulley off spindle.

[@velasquez907]

How did you remove the pulley?

[@892016901]

Good job! Do you remember bearings dimensions? I need it on 2019 year model ranger.

[@forgiven_lightofficial3732]

In no way is that going to have the 2.3l pictured in the video.

[@chuckhuckle]

I was searching for videos on how to fix a wobbly fan and found this. I don't want to remove that timing cover/housing thing. I think I will try this. Is it still working? Any tips to getting the old one out? Just take out the snap ring and use a bearing puller?

[@MatthewB2000]

Yeah, we were going to replace the entire cover and ended up buying the new cover and pulled the new bearing from the old cover. Pull it with a bearing puller. We used a large socket to tap it into the old cover

[@TheEduardo8525]

Where do I get the replacement? I'm from Mexico

[@chriscusick6890]

You must buy entire timing cover $130 or junk yard. You need high quality tools to get rotten pulley off and back on.

[@MatthewB2000]

Pull the bearing out with a bearing puller the way you would any other bearing

[@davidtarkington8829]

Where do you get the new one even fors says I cannot buy it I have the old one out just need new one

[@MatthewB2000]

@@davidtarkington8829 we pulled it out of the new part.
