2004 Jeep Liberty Grinding Noise SOLVED!

[@matts.8342]

This reminds me of doing my rear differential on my 04 libby. I stuck the new ring gear in the oven for 30 minutes or so. The wife wasn't happy with having car parts in her oven but it slid right on whereas before it wouldn't even start! Freakin science, man!

[@23027]

Science rules!!

hi, I am having the issue in jeep liberty 2004 sports edition, AC blowing in Defrost vent and not coming to from vents. and another thing is that while the AC is off still the air is coming from defrost vent and on feet. can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue?

[@randyjaynes6656]

Your video was pretty good to know how to fix that it really would’ve been nice if you could’ve wrote the numbers down for the bearing on a piece of paper and showed everybody I have two jeep liberty’s it would’ve really been nice to know the actual number of that bearing thank you

[@jessicamacias4968]

How would you look the whole kit up on ebay

[@jeffcurrey8765]

Okay- this is an AC Clutch bearing, available on Amazon for as little as $12.65, here is the Part No. : 35BD219DU or 35BD219DUK.

[@23027]

Jeff Currey yeah unfortunately I don't have the luxury of time to wait for shipping to buy that cheap!

[@LinkSquish]

He said in the video you could get it online & that he needed it right away so he had to spend more.

[@bobbymanzer7613]

What is part called again

[@peggyeldridge4827]

I have a 2005 Liberty. Mine is always broken in one way or another. I am getting sick of it.

[@23027]

Yeah unfortunately that is why I decided to sell mine. The most unreliable vehicle I ever owned, gave me nothing but trouble. Disappointing because I loved the thing.

[@ghostduckinvestigations9798]

im getting there I put a ton of money into my 04 already

[@chopperhead2677]

Anyone know if the plate and the outer pulley surface is supposed to be “smooth”?? I’m hearing a rough sound but it goes in and out so I’m not sure if it’s the bearing or the matin surfaces rubbing on each other

[@StephenPeot]

I've been battling my girlfriends liberty for two days I'm trying the iron trick right now. Can't seem to get it on there properly to where it spins smoothly.

[@23027]

I left the thing on the iron for a while, don't forget to lube the inside of the bearing and the shaft as well to help er slide right on.

[@daviddunn3296]

Lucky yours moves still

[@LinkSquish]

Is my Jeep Liberty the only one with a clutch fan, all the Liberties I see doesn't have one. Mine has both clutch & electric for ac.

[@23027]

Interesting? It could be? I'm curious if it's a factory piece or aftermarket

[@mymyitsme]

Fitted with tow pack you will have the two fans

[@wesmaximus7728]

Just had this happen and why do these things happen just when winter is here when you dont need the AC (up here in canada eh)

[@richardstallwood2666]

Wes Maximus were did you get the bearing for it ?

[@wesmaximus7728]

Richard Stallwood I haven't done it yet. Nor have I looked for the kit or bearing. It just sucks these days too. Cars years ago you could just disconnect the AC and still drive. Separate belts

[@wesmaximus7728]

Ill add too that mine is far beyond a bearing replacement. I'm getting a whole new unit and wont be driving it until i do as the damn thing could cause a bigger problem it it explodes.

[@23027]

I ended up getting one locally at a bearing shop B&B Bearing they do mostly DC Motors and were surprised when I said it was for a vehicle. Could not get one from any auto parts store but eBay had a lot for cheaper.

[@23027]

I suppose the cold weather is hard on the bearings! NO kidding eh!

[@anoint426hemi6]

fyi, Maybe next time you'll know.. those "little detents" are referred to as "staking the bearing"

[@skully0078]

Thanks for the vid.

[@jeffwilliams312]

Replaced ac bearing on my 06 jeep and found that a bearing for a Ford truck is the one that worked

[@h22lude253]

Dude your hilarious. Good video man thanks.

[@elwicho73]

Thank you my friend my Jeep just started to do this noise and thanks for the laugh in the beginning 😂

[@anoint426hemi6]

You screwed up bud... That clutch cover is supposed to have TINY ROUND spacers to prevent the cover from locking up against the pulley. The spacers slide over the threaded portion of the shaft to allow for an air gap when the cover is bolted with the nut. Loosening the nut will only lead to disaster when that nut flies off. With the nut tight there should be measurable air gap of.. .014-.025(factory specs)

[@23027]

Yup! I do remember those spacers and did use them as they were intended for!

[@alexanderwoods2055]

Hey im thinking of buying a 3.7L Limited Jeep liberty 150k miles, am I making a bad choice? What are my maintenance issues that'll happen that cost way too much?

[@23027]

Hard to say for me, I had a bad experience with this vehicle and found it unreliable. Some other people might have great things to say though! I think it will come down to history of maintenance and having records to prove it

[@donnypsycho]

dont do it - nothing but problems

[@superman21958]

Jeep engines only last 150,000 miles, you want to buy one that has already been rebuilt. Transmissin pans leak, I could go on, but … don’t buy one

[@keklordgrey4522]

You IAFF or was it a friends vehicle?

[@23027]

Yes sir I am a proud IAFF member! Ex Local 18, current 1271 member.

Just Empty Every Pocket

[@Ruben901]

😂😂💀💀💀

[@matthewwilloughby2594]

Snap rings suck

[@michaellewis7727]

Alot of talking and you didn't show how you did anything.

[@23027]

This video is more of a pointing you in a direction, not a step by step tutorial

[@robertocruz6100]

To bad you didn't show any of the work that was completed. I can take my Jeep to the shop, have that work done, and then describe what the work was. Waste of my time!!!

[@23027]

Right on!! Thanks for tuning in Roberto!!

[@rubencantu9987]

Save me a lot of $$ thanks👍

[@miguellorenzo3726]

Hilarious

[@mikberning]

You sure do talk alot. Unfortunately you didn't bother to descrbe any procedure. :(

[@23027]

Yup! This is not a step by step tutorial. There are other videos out there for that. Honestly just takes a little bit of common sense.. You can generically google or youtube videos on how to remove AC pulleys and get the same step by step. In fact that is exactly what I did before this video! Worked for me!

[@mikberning]

well somehow i got it fixed

[@kayceem2335]

Pahh good video bro did the same to mine. Started going in Merritt on my way home to Kamloops had a lot of help from can tire but your video was a lot of useful info thank you sir

[@23027]

Hey no worries glad it could be of help. Hoping to move to Kamloops some time!
