AC Clutch removal
I've removed the clutch plate and the pulley wheel/bearing on my 94 Bronco. Now what? Doeas the switch piece also come out, and if so, how? Does anyone have a link to a pictorial?

Switch piece? Do you mean the clutch coil?
If so, it's just a tight interference fit on the compressor. Place a large screwdriver on each side of the coil and wiggle it off.
Align the electrical connector on the new coil and tap it onto the compressor. I use a plastic covered hammer or a block of wood to protect the coil.
When installing the clutch plate, remember to set the clutch gap. .010-.025" The closer, the better.
