A/C Clutch replacement

The bearing in the pulley clutch for my A/C compressor is making noise. Is it difficult to replace the clutch pulley unit? Thanks

No, as long as you have the correct snap ring pliers.

The coil, OTOH, is a bit of a PITA.

Hey man I feel your pain. See my post: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...ngibility.html

I took mine apart and the clutch is fine and I never had a problem with the actual AC compressor as the AC works fine, however the bearing in mine was shot! As I took it apart it fell apart more of less.

You can see some images here:

This lists the FX-10, I think you shuold have a FS-10 compressor.

Anyway long story short I matched up the bearing and will have it today. The bearing cost me $60 CAD + $20 air to get it. The specs for the bearing are here: http://www.zxz-bearings.com/air-cond...r-bearings.htm. The size is: 30 55 23 FORD. If you bring those specs to a bearing shop they can match it up for you. It will probably be a special order like mine.

Here are some pics for you: http://www.polarbearinc.com/PBPC/hom...L/CL_Ford.html

And here is another place you can get the bearing but its in the states: http://www.acsource.com/index.asp?Pa...S&Category=316

Thanks for the info. I am soon leaveing for 3 weeks of work and will tackle this job when I come home. The squealing is minimal now after I sprayed it with lubricating oil (LPS) not WD-40. The truck will be parked well I am away.
