Definitely a quick fix but not necessarily the best. Those smaller "water pump" sized bearings have a small dynamic load rating. I'll take the larger bearings with their 2146# load rating.
The issue with my expensive aluminum fan hub is I have to run about zero for belt tension...... basically close to squealing. Too much of a PITA.
What looked to be a solution is not so great.
