AC Repair

I have a 1999 F-250 SuperDuty with a 7.3L. I need to replace the field coil on my AC compressor due to a broken connector (long story). After I remove the belt and compressor clutch, what is the next step to get the pulley off so that I can then replace the field coil? I am a computer geek by trade so I need clear steps. I looked on youtube, but all I found was how to adjust or replace the compressor clutch or the entire compressor.

Thanks in advance.

Jason

The pulley comes off with the clutch, it is part of the clutch assembly. The field coil is another matter, some are a press fit and some have screws. Pretty sure our Fords are press fit, at least mine is. There is a recent thread on the clutch replacement process here. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...placement.html

Ok, sounds like the biggest hurdle for me will be the snap ring. Not sure if I have a tool for that, but I know where to get one.

Oreileys will lend you one if you ask at the counter. They charge you for it, then you return it and get all your money back. If you decide to keep it you just dont take it back and all is good.


From one computer nerd to another, I'd like to see a full writeup on that process you're going through.
