How to replace the compressor pulley in a 2009 Toyota corolla

In another video they replaced the pulley and the rattling noise stopped, now I tried it.

Where did you get the tool from?

You should fill freon with new oil before change the pulley...

[@chriss4365]

You do not need to add refrigerant or oil when replacing the pulley.

[@meka3737]

@@chriss4365 Yes, because this compressor doesn't have magnetic clutch (it works always), if it's dry it doesn't work for a long..

[@chriss4365]

@@meka3737 It doesn't always work, It has a way of shutting off the compressor, but it does always rotate. Both kinds of pulleys do have a bearing that needs to be greased every few years.

I'm an idiot. I went counter clockwise and broke the head off the bolt. 😢

Why does it keep breaking in my own car? I changed it just yesterday and it broken today again

[@chriss4365]

Compressor is seized. I have a video replacing the compressor check it out.

@@chriss4365 I had this outer and inner plate (with the rubber dampers) fall off my OEM compressor after 200k miles, it fell off while driving and I lost it. Bought a new compressor off eBay, car blew very cold A/C, but the outer and inner plate on the new compressor fell off within 100 miles. Thoughts on the cause and what to do? Several others are pointing to this mechanical fix to bolt in that plate to prevent it from falling off, figure that's my next step. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGi9qmRne7uHbrs

@@karlku5835 It probably was not torqued when it was installed. You need that tool to properly tighten it.

[@chriss4365]

@@karlku5835 It was not installed correctly id contact the seller and demand a new pulley or money back. They didn't tighten the outer plate with tool so it came off and the pulley came off because it had no snap ring installed.

[@karlku5835]

@@chriss4365 I did reach back to the seller on eBay and they shipped another new compressor, free of charge. They told me I must have gotten the belt stuck on the clutch during installation, whatever that means. I will admit that it's possible I overtightened the serpentine belt, I had less than 90 degrees of play. My main concern is if there is something in the car that is "causing" this plate to fall off, considering it happened with 2 compressors in short time. I'd hate to have the same problem happen with this 2nd new one, I may just get the tool to ensure it is tightened down enough on this new one.

is the bolt securing the compressor clutch is 7mm ? Is that correct .

[@chriss4365]

@@AmalKaru-i2f I do not remember. Try my best to mention sizes in my videos.

Hello Chris, I am having an issue with ac compressor in my Toyota corolla 2008, zre152r , same model. same ac compressor. Issue is AC compressor clutch seems to be engage all the time. Even AC is switched off, compressor is turning with the clutch full time. There is no issue with the cooling nor any noise from compressor. Can you advise whats going on here. thanks

[@chriss4365]

@user-gx7pw4rs2k This is what's called a clutch less pulley. It always turns.

[@oby-1607]

This compressor is controlled by the sensor attached to it. It looks like a small circular disc with wiring going to it. It is what turns on the AC and off. Cheap to replace. It should be on the side of the compressor facing the front. It is usually only embedded in and you can glue in the replacement.

[@daveezrin1896]

What noise was it making? My 2010 corolla ac is making a little noise. Almost whining a little. Still works tho. Wondering if i should just keep sending it until something breaks. 240k miles on it hate throwong $ at it.

[@chriss4365]

The compressor was making a rattling sound. The pistons were hitting the top of the head creating the sound. I have a video taking the old compressor apart and showing the pistons coming out too far on compression strokes. The new compressor makes the same noise but its not as bad as with the old compressor. If ac still works then you can leave it but it's making the noise for a reason not sure why the pistons noise gets worse but it must be from wear.

[@daveezrin1896]

​@@chriss4365Thanks for the reply. I'm going to recharge my system as it's the easiest option. If that don't work I'll follow your videos and start figuring it out. Love my corolla hard to see her aging

[@chriss4365]

@daveezrin1896 if it has no charge you have to vacuum it first.

[@B36-x2v]

What did you about the piece of aluminum that broke?

[@chriss4365]

I used loctite blue. Issue is you can't get it off later. Just a last resort before having to replace the compressor. If you need to replace the compressor I have a video.

[@B36-x2v]

@@chriss4365 okok just planning on doing the pulley because my ac works fine but when I start my car on cold starts the compressor pulley doesn’t catch on my belt right away and I’m assuming the pulley is just going bad

[@chriss4365]

@@B36-x2v This is a clutchless pulley and should always turn. If the compressor seizes that part is designed to break so that the car can still be used.
