Delphi V5 ,V7, A/C Compressor Clutch Bearing Replacement Part 1

[@spelunkerd]

I'm glad to see a pro do this, rather than just replace the whole unit. Bravo! I did this on my Dodge Ram and did a video to help others. It was a little more work than I expected it to be, but everything turned out OK. Most of my difficulty was finding the right parts, since there are many designs even from the same manfacturer.

[@ManicMechanic007]

Great camera work and attention to detail. Top notch job Rich. Again, you make it look so easy.

[@charlie1872]

You make it look so simple, that is the difference when you are dealing with a professional. Just had an idea, you could open a store and have people come in wiht their cars and you direct them to make the repairs, everyone wins!

[@zx8401ztv]

So good to have pullers and a press to hand, makes it so much nicer to do the job :-) As usual you make it look like a walk in the park :-)

[@hllywd964]

I never knew you could just replace a bearing in the AC compressor...I would have just replaced the whole unit...good job Rich!!

[@666LunarCat]

All the intro was missing is thebig lion roaring! Nice work I learned allot!

[@algopeligroso]

Impecable tutorial, Excelente trabajo!!! Felicitaciones, desde Orán - Salta (Argentina).

[@carpulea]

Hy can you tell me what size is that bearing or a code?Deplhi compressors and Harrison are identical?

[@RichpinTv]

carpulea The bearing was a NSK 6559469

[@SMC9184]

Excellent video tutorial, just replaced the clutch bearing in my Citroen Picasso on a sanden SD7V16 following the method used by you. Also like the bike stand video too! Thank you richpin06a.

[@RichpinTv]

Gaz Nasty Glad you got your Citroen fixed.

[@dgr8zod]

That's the same AC pulley puller set I have. Made replacing the coil on the compressor in a '97 Sunfire SO much easier..

[@mrgreeneye656]

Nice work bro!! I think I'll buy a new comp. though, you really know your stuff and have the right tools. I like you Corel Motion intro and outro. :)

[@omarG19100]

great job rich. i wish i had the equip u have. will make life easier.

[@RichpinTv]

The one i used was Astro Pneumatic 7886 A/C Compressor Clutch Installer/Remover Kit.

[@matthewnewsome8906]

Thank you for the info, I had some help but managed to make one using a laithe, and a couple of old bolts.

[@alejandromartinez2424]

Ola de todos los videos este fue el mas sertero para tener una idea gracias x compartir

[@m-c-m-]

This was great, thank you.

[@charlie1872]

BTW OUTSTANDING opening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@2point0T]

I had to replace an open coil on a 2000 Saturn SL and would say it took well over 150 lbs of force to pull the pulley off but I didn't put my 3 jaw puller on the shaft for fear of destroying the seals or insides of the compressor. I'm not a professional mechanic but using the main compressor shaft to remove or install the pulley doesn't seem like a good idea.

[@RichpinTv]

Replacing the compressor is a viable alternative.

[@ricardofriba1]

Nice job!

[@matthewnewsome8906]

HI nice video, I am currently trying to replace a very similar type of clutch and pulley, and Im having trouble sourcing a a/c removal tool, the kits retail here at about £30-£100 but I only need the removal too as I have bought a complete second hand a/c pump and intend to swap the bearing and pulley assembly ( it was cheaper) what is the removal tool called and what are the dimensions or exact description of the tool as I dont want to pay for a full kit , Any help would be great Thank you

[@AlwaysHopeful87]

I removed the magnet too. Made a mistake. There is a snap ring, not the one richpin showed, inside the hub that u can see after you take the pulley off (8:49). That snap ring doesn't have to be remove to take off the magnet.

[@dankunce1827]

Thanks very helpful. Where is part 2? I have the same pump on a 99 Chevy Tahoe.

[@dankunce1827]

Nevermind, found part two. Duh

[@ericcorse]

Thanks well done

[@RichpinTv]

The bearing is $20.the clutch setup with bearing is $150.

[@binnsh]

Thanks, my 04 Astro needs this. A/C shop quoted $700 for a new compressor installed. Said with 180k miles the compressor will fail soon and to replace the compressor not just the bearing. Your thoughts? My compressor is on top, much easier access for me than this car. Bug plow is getting a workout this year!

[@RichpinTv]

I would check the price of a new one on Amazon they are very reasonable.Yes the bug plow,snowblower and my chevy K20 are getting a work out this winter.

[@binnsh]

Thanks, Still think I'll go with just the bearing. Parts store offer free rental of the puller, and I don't have to open the lines. We'll see how long the pump keeps going.

[@binnsh]

binnsh Went with just the new $20 bearing three months ago, but didn't get the gap right; clutch would not engage. Adjusted the gap by trial and error yesterday (discs were too scored up or a eeler gauge), success. Thanks!

[@binnsh]

binnsh The $20 chinese bearing failed in 5 months, damaged the magnet too. Just put in a $120 clutch and magnet kit, we'll see how long it lasts. A new compressor doesn't seem so expensive now.

[@timkapeller5469]

+binnsh complete ac compressor kit for $149 on ebay

[@MrMicpos]

hello richpin06a, at the first...great job. could you tell me one thing, please? when you start to use the special tool to remove clutch (time 6:27), what is outside diameter and thread of it?

[@twolungking]

cant you just replace the pulley with a new bearing inside seems like a lot of extra work grinding those rivets down just to install the bearing inside. Just saying for the do it your selfer.is the pulley really expensive or something ? I dont get it. I really like your videos by the way.

[@robertgary3561]

I have his compressor on a grand am. The clutch is noisy when the a/c is not on. The bearing seems good as does the gap but I can rattle the clutch face by hand. It's very noisy. Do the clutch "springs" just wear out? It looks ok.

[@robertgary3561]

Btw following the FSM flow chart for noisy A/C it says everything is fine. A/C works fine but sounds like a can rattling around when A/C off.

[@fixitallpaul4847]

I reassemble using loctite bearing and sleeve locker whenever staking is removed.

[@Christophershanemay]

I have a 2001 chevy prizm. It seems my clutch has frozen up. I was wondering what size serpentine belt you used to bypass the compressor. I have found not auto store that shows the option. thanks

[@richpin3041]

I used a Duralast 610K6 belt.

[@twolungking]

Im not really trying to replace the whole assembly just that pulley would it really cost $150 dont really need the whole clutch assembly just the pulley and bearing ?

[@travisgelinas3078]

rich i have a 25 mm box wrench.... nice video good job

[@RichpinTv]

Sorry about that if i knew you had a lathe i would have gave you the specs on the tool.

[@organicvids]

grind the puller down to 24 mm. so you can use a box wrench.

[@RichpinTv]

He's the little guy in the video.....lol

[@benjieorgen4001]

always remember the good condition the engine....of your car

[@RahmanRahman-u2f]

good

[@ILSappr]

I like how you pronounce bearing.its sounds like barron.you must be from the north east.

[@ristosavic71]

Sve je OK samo vadjenje lezaja iz remenice bez alata nije uredu posto remenica moze da iskoci iz centra i da se osteti.

[@MrStarscream88]

Who's Barron?

[@ristosavic71]

Everything is OK self extracting bearings from the pulley without tools is wrong percent pulleys that can jump out of the center and that it is damaged.

[@husseinalwan7701]

.Hello .. my car when working AC Aznar march be very good. For when I stop for 10 minutes becomes a NO good reason what

[@SteveM66]

do you have the bearing part number

[@alekomaglaferize1277]

Привет мой кондиционер включен и в целом Можете ли вы помочь Как превратить

[@tragichero7746]

Oh rich has a press. ik who Im contacting next time i need one. jk or am I? Lol

[@intrusive_thoughts.]

I always wondered what the heck was in there.

[@mrhighway]

Is better to buy a brand new compressor

[@robertgary3561]

And evac and charge it and replace the dryer? Just replace the bearing and your good.

[@topherd1011]

I have a 25 mm wrench.. Damn I'm nerdy.

[@louieguy1]
