Default a/c clutch bearings

the bearings went out in the clutch hub and were making alot of noise, im trying to find just the clutch hub, and not have to buy a whole clutch kit but cannot find it, anyone ever had to replace this or ran into this trouble, or can the bearing just be replaced? thanks

I'd replace the entire assembly as the worn bearing may have caused uneven wear on the Face Plate. Otherwise, NAPA usually sells individual pieces, including just the bearing which you'll need some sort of Press to R & R. Before you replace anything, check the air gap because they will make noise if it gets too wide. Should be .020 inch.

I replaced just the bearing in my 89 after it seized. I took it to a local auto parts place and we matched it up from a catalog they had. Sorry, but it's been a while now and I can't recall the p/n.

One word of caution....be careful of buying a bearing without matching it up to the one you have. I went to several places and all of them had the incorrect part listed.

'88 through '96 compressor is the Nippondenso 10PA20C. The LT motors switched the manifold around, but the clutches are the same.
