How To Remove A C Clutch. After removing the bolt in the center simply thread a 12 standard thread bolt into the center while holding the pulley from turning as you tighten it down it will pull the pulley and bearing off the shaft Then remove the snap ring and replace the bearing. Yes you can just replace the clutch pulley on the ac compressor.
Lift the front of the compressor up to clear the top radiator support. The AC relay is typically found in the underhood. Tighten the center screw on the clutch removal tool with a 38-inch ratchet until the clutch begins to pull away from the AC compressor.
When I cycle the AC to ON the clutch does not engage.
I got a new seal and pulled off my compressor to put it in. A big note when you get the clutch off put the tool back on and try and move the shaft up and down and sideways. This allows power to flow through the relay to the compressor clutch turning your AC on. I tried all of the clutch removal tools in our shop and none of them fit they are all too.
