OK,how do I get the clutch-pulley assembly off the compressor?I have changed out compressors before but now I need to swap clutches from a leaking compressor to one that works but the has a noise coming from it when engaged.I used my shadetree stethoscope(a piece of 3/8 hose) and found the noise is right in the clutch.It doesn't sound like it is from the compressor,it sounds like it is right out at the clutch.

 

There is a special tool. If you look at the center of the clutch there are threads in the center. the tool threads into it and a bolt screws down the center of the tool and pushes on the compressor shaft. However the last couple I have removed just slid off by hand, didn't need the tool. Good luck.

 

Thanks for the reply.I was gonna go ahead and try but the guys on here are always helpful and I knew I would get some go information.Hope it comes off without too much trouble so I can get Dad's A/C going.
