Remove and Replace AC Compressor Clutch and Bearing Without Removing Refrigerant or Compressor

Very Smart lady! This has to be the best AC compressor repair video I've watched.

You're welcome, Glenn, and thank you! That's one of the nicest and most thoughtful comments I've received on my channel. I truly appreciate that you took the time to write it. Comments like yours remind me to show detailed steps in the process of fixing stuff so others feel like they too can tackle the project. Sister says, "Thank you," too!

[@jameskirk3]

Very much agree. I was hesitant to do a clutch job myself, but going for it now. No chance I pay a shop to do this when I have a step by step guide.

Hi. Thank you for such an informative video, I am in South Africa and a few days ago I started experiencing some noise while the car is running and initially thought it was the alternator bearing, this afternoon I discovered the noise is actually coming from the AC compressor pulley. Your very detailed video has given me a very good idea on how to go about fixing the issue. Thanks again.

Can't believe your channel hasn't been suggested to me before! Fantastic explanation with no filler "We bought this car and lemme tell yall the story of my sick sisters journey when the AC went out...." that always seems to go along with a lot of other DIY and How To channels!!!! Very well filmed and demonstrated. Clear, concise language and giving all the names for the pulley/clutch/ etc. People call the same part 5 different names sometimes and it confuses me sometimes. Thanks for making this because I am definitely going to use your channel and this video in the future!!! Cheers from Missouri in 2024!

[@djsparkyy]

Great video, I've never seen anyone torque the mounting bolts on an AC compressor before. You ladies are thorough! lol One small tip. Some compressors/alternators have dowel pins to align them to the engine. Cleaning them off and applying anti seeze to the holes will help prevent them from getting stuck and being difficult to remove in the future.

Thank you very much for this instructive video. I must confess that I am really impressed. Greetz from Küps, Northern Bavaria, Germany.

[@juancarlosmorales6775]

Great video. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. It cleared a few things I did not know where to start: using the pliers to lock the pressure plate. Others activate the magnetic clutch from the dashboard, unscrew the 10 mm bolt, turn it off and continue. However, that approach only works if the magnet is good, mine was damaged so your approach works best. One comment though: when using the extractor, it is very important to use the cup to support the extractor bolt on the compressor case, and not on the compressor shaft. Putting axial pressure on the compressor shaft "could/might" damage the compressor. If the pulley comes out easily, likely no issue, but if the pulley is very stuck the extra pressure is not good for the shaft.

[@frugaldiy1]

Thank you, Juan, and thank you for the valuable info you added. It helps us all. Happy New Year!

[@eranomanahan9118]

Thank you for this so informative video. I was able to replace the AC compressor clutch without the need to bring to the shop to remove the refrigerant. My 1997 Camry has rusted bolts that I could not remove the lower bolt of the thermostat housing. I was afraid to force it because before doing it, I broke the adjusting bolt of the fan belt due to so much rust. I moved the compressor to the best position I could aware of not to let the wirings to the magnetic coil rub with the thermostat housing. Because I have no one to hold the tongue and plier while removing the 10mm center bolt, I used a vice grip and clamped tight a portion of the pressure plate to prevent it from rotating. I positioned its handle against the wall (see the photo). By hammering the handle of the torque wrench, I was able to remove the center bolt. The other harder one was the removal and replacement of the snap ring because I could not see clearly the holes where I should place the tool. My cellphone camera guided me to that. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, MY CAR IS COOL AGAIN.

[@frugaldiy1]

BRAVO! Well done, my friend! I'm impressed with your ingenuity and dogmatic approach to the project. YOU don't give up and that's impressive and rare. Much respect!

[@ballhawk387]

What to do if the pressure plate does not come off? What eventually got it to come off for me was penetrating lubricant (Free All), driving with the bolt loosened to induce vibration, tapping along the edge, and eventually prying it off. Hardest part of the job. Best to treat it before having a proper go.
