Jeep Wrangler (TJ) AC Fix $35

A simple fix for a Jeep Wrangler (TJ 2004) A/C compressor Bearing:

Part: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251236732897 ($35)
OEM Part: Nachi 30BGS10DST

Ordered the part on a Friday night (10pm) and had it Monday (3pm) it was an exact fit and solved the problem.

The whole project (less the wait for the part) was roughly an hour mostly due to not having the proper tools.

recommended tools:
Channel Locks (pipe wrench) that can open to 3 inches
10mm (6 sided if possible) shallow socket
Spring Clip removal tool with a 90 degree turn from handles and small pins
and a good bench vise would be very helpful
Solvent to clean the parts

I replaced the OEM serpentine belt with a shorter one to "delete" the AC after I could hear the bearings starting to become EXTREMELY noisy. (you can usually tell that it is the AC bearing by the "on and off" variability of the noise when the AC clutch engages and disengages. I left it like this for about a year after being quoted $800+ to replace the compressor. I knew the AC was still cold and working just the bearing was going bad so I tried to find the part locally which no one had and only one place was willing to sell the clutch and pulley as a single unit for over $100, so I decided I would take it on myself and just replace the bearing which completely fixed the problem and cost me $35.
