Noisy A/C Clutch

Other than replacing the AC clutch, is there a good fix for a very noisy clutch assy? I can hear the bearings rolling around and grinding.

Agreed. Once the bearings go up, they're toast. Grab a replacement clutch before it really takes stuff out with it. (Serpentine belt, correct?)

Even with winter coming on, it still needs to support the load in the belt arrangement.
