V10 A/C clutch question
I have a 1999 SD V10 with about 133K on it. Runs great to the day. Recently I noticed alot of clicking and rough sounding noise coming from the a/c compressor the other day. Yep I got up underneath it and it look like it's about shot.
My question is,
How hard is it to replace the clutch yourself with a new one. Are there any step by step direction here on the ford forums on how to do it. Looks like can just replace the a/c clutch and be good to go. A/C still blows cold air.
I took it to my mechanic the other day and they want $600 for a replacement compressor and labor. I'd like to try and avoid that amount for now and just replace the clutch. Any ideas? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
