Thanks for posting this video. My wife has a 2007 Civic with a 1.8l and I suspect the AC clutch is dead. I checked the relay and replaced it with a new one just in case, along with the fuse but it still will not engage the clutch. I did also check the positive wire going to the clutch and it is getting power so my next course of action is going to be replacing the AC clutch. This will be much easier thanks to your video. We do live in Canada where the winters are harsh and thanks to the amount of salt on the roads, a lot of fasteners on a vehicle can get pretty rusted and or corroded so I'm hoping the clutch is not rusted to bad. Thanks again for the great video! Cheers!

These years they put to many shims in from the factory. I removed a shim from a 08 civic with 40k miles and it still works with 215k. You should try that first because it’s really easy to do.

Great tutorial! That $600 quote is more like $1600 these days

Great video, I successfully replaced a/c clutch on 2007 Civic sport with a 2.0 engine. Only difference is with 2.0 engine you need to remove one of the fans, to get access to the compressor.

Always put a towel or an old Tshirt under where you are working.... Keep from losing tools and bolts

Neat! I bought a new AC compressor and swapped it out, vacuumed, new pressure switch, new Freon, new fuses and relays and nothing worked for me. I got nothing but warm air. The clutch won’t engage, before I had to tap it in order to work. This is my next plan, I hope this works 🤞

i had the top left compressor bolt seize in the block, impact wouldnt budge it lol.... there are now 3 compressor bolts

[@NightFlight1973]

maybe stupid question... what type of pry bar? I've got clutch queued up here for my 2007 si, which I think is the issue. I haven't tried the jumper as part of the initial diagnostics, but I did force the engage the clutch with a stick and got sweet sweet cool air - so I know the compressor is good. The 7.5amp fuse keeps blowing. I think the clutch is just all old and gummed up or the coil went.

Bless you bro, i was tipping hard hard that I was going to have to replace the whole compressor (my mind went straight to the worst case). Thank you so much!

[@DIRTDIVER882]

Awesomeness.

[@edknaak5101]

Thanks. Helpful video. My clutch was totally rusted inside out on 2003 Civic. I will let you know how it works.

[@starblazers01]

Thanks for sharing, showing all the tools!

[@JuanRodriguez-yl9oq]

Thanks for video! My AC went out in this Louisiana heat! I’m going to try this before dropping a couple hundred for a new compressor. I really didn’t want to drain the R134a if I didn’t need to.

[@charlesforte6473]

One of the best video tutorials I've ever seen ! You sir have a "gift"! ..39⁰ ❄️👍

[@gooogleuser3393]

Excellent video, excellent step by step instruction on how you did it and what tools were required. Well done.

[@Anthony_The_Disney_Guy]

The old ground screw would not come out for me, I ended up using the nearby M8 head bolt that is holding on a wire hold down for the new ground terminal. The credit card gap worked great!

[@indiomonk123]

Bro.... why you make it look so easy? Natural talent. Thanks for the video. I have to fix a 08 Civic Coupe AC Clutch soon.

[@SmurfYeahBizNitches]

great video. my ac has been "repaired" twice this year. Ac would start cold and then go hot with compressor on. First time I went to a mechanic and they did a pressure test and said the condenser was leaking. After that was replaced the ac worked for about two weeks and then only blew hot. Took it to Honda and they replaced my ac relay and it worked for about a month. Now 4 months later its fall and I won't really need the Ac for a while and seeing how easy it is makes me want to try but I've never worked on cars before and don't own any tools so I am still worried about doing it myself. Still I'm already down about $1000 total for both "fixes" tho. And Honda told me my power steering pump is leaking and will need to be replaced and said it would be over $2k. I wish there was like a school or something I could learn this stuff at, I know youtube is free but its hit or miss with the instructions.
