A/C compressor clutch replacement
I need some help replacing the clutch on my a/c compressor. It looks pretty straight forward just a few bolts pull the old off put the new on. I'm just wondering if there is more to it. If there's a certain way to replace this part. Please help,
Thanks,

1. Loosen and remove the belt.
2. Energize the clutch and loosen and remove the clutch mounting bolt.
3 Install a 5/8-11 bolt in the clutch drive shaft hole. With the clutch still energized, tighten the bolt to loosen the clutch from the shaft, then remove the magnetic clutch.
Never tap the clutch pulley to loosen the clutch. This will warp the pulley and damage the clutch.
4. Carefully remove any burrs or dirt that may be on the compressor shaft. The shaft must be dry and brightly polished. Install the clutch, the clutch mounting bolt, and the washer.
5. Energize the clutch, and tighten the bolt to specification. (20-30 Ft-Lbs)
6. Install and adjust the belt.
