Fred,

Years ago you could buy these kits at most auto parts stores. It was just a
long bearing with a shaft sticking out both ends. You pulled the flange that
the pulley and blade mount to off, and push the complete assembly out the
back. Then you pressed off the impeller and put it all back together. You
had the measure how far the hub was on and put it back in the same place.
They were popular in the 60's. Did you try an authorized Ford rebuilder?
They sold parts years ago.
