Spercharger Clutch Bearing

Well, my supercharger clutch bearing is finally going bad at 60k miles. I have seen a number of threads about replacing the bearing. Some people have noted that replacement bearings sometimes only last 6 months or so.

Looks like the bearing is a standard AC compressor clutch bearing used in Matsu****a Mazda compressors. I have found the bearing at my local Auto AC shop but all they carry is the Chinese version.

Does anyone no where I can buy the NSK (Japanese) version of the bearing online? The NSK number is 32BD45-A-2T12DD

Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck - Please do not bother with the bearing we have all tried. It was not designed for the speed and load, and will fail in about 6 months. We will be selling the replacement NSK OEM bearing with the release of our Supercharger Clutch Pulley. I can ship one out to you the beginning of next week.
