Please, need help with AC comp.bearings
My AC bearings are squealing. I need to drive next week 600km and I affraid that the bearings will wedge up? Can it happen? So if possible, maybe some one has experience to change theese bearings. Can someone know what size they are and what type of bearings? The most better is if someone has drawing of it. Looking very yours minds.
Car is Ford F-150 5.0 XLT Lariat 1991 year
Thanks!
Mike
The squealing noise is coming from the compressor, but I doubt this is the source.
In my opinion, it's one of three things:
(1) The compressors clutch bearing / (2) The A/C idler pulley / (3) The belt tensioner.
For parts catalog illustrations, other info, I suggest you contact GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH: greensalescompany.com / 011-513-731-3304.
Thanks for answering.
And sorry about my language mistakes.

If you have the Ford Factory AC and not a dealer installed AC which would use a Sanden compressor you should have the FX15 compressor. The FS10 compressor was recommended by Ford if you changed from R12 to R134A refrigerant.
If you do a Google search for "FX15 Black Death" you'll find the FX15 compressor had serious reliability problems.
The FX15 clutch pulley bearing is a BCA National 5106WCC
