The compressor clutch bearing comes as part of the compressor clutch assy. It is very much replaceable, but not always practical compared to replacing the compressor assy. when you factor in labor. The compressor clutch from Nissan is P/N: 92660-0W000 and MSRP is $342.59. Labor time to replace the clutch is 3.0 hours plus an additional 1.4 hours to evacuate/recharge system. You can get a Four Season reman. compressor w/ clutch at Rockauto.com for $333.79. Labor to replace the compressor assy. is 0.9 hours plus the 1.4 hours to evacuate recharge. So, there's 2.1 hours of additional labor charge to replace just the clutch compared to replacing the whole compressor assy. w/ a new clutch. So, you can see it makes more sense to replace the entire compressor and clutch assy. with a reman. unit that to just replace the clutch (and still have an old compressor). FYI, a genuine Nissan compressor is almost $700.
