i realize this video is almost 2 years old so chances are you wont read this how ever in the off chance that you do I wanted to say how much I enjoyed listening to you show and explain how to do this particular project. it was great to listen to how well you spoke with great articulation and didnt stutter like a majority of how to speakers. a real pleasure which made it even easier to understand. You do wonderful videos thank you and keep up the awesome job.

@abitcraze 7 лет назад

Good Job. Straight to the point and not allot of wasting time talking. Just straight to the point advice and repair.

@alexboriqua688 6 лет назад

Your two videos on this were indispensable to me! Watched them several times each before I got started. I swapped out my Pulley, clutch and stator .. and NOW ... THE NOISE IS WORSE! No fault of yours I wouldn't have been able to do the job without your vids. THANK YOU! Worse part of the whole job was the damn snap rings and doing them blind.

@blackbuttecruizr 9 лет назад

Excellent video! I was able to pull the replacement clutch off at the junk yard in about 10 minutes. Putting it on my vehicle was a totally different story. The bearings had totally failed on the old pulley, so I couldn't pry it off like you did in the video. I ended up having to buy a puller to get it off. The bearings came out with a pile of metal shavings in my hand. Putting the new one on was a breeze, but neither clutch came with spacers. I improvised and used a trimmed down pull tab from a soda can and now it works awesome!

Tom Raider sweet, always pays to think outside the box. thanks for commenting. cheers

@blackbuttecruizr 9 лет назад

RatchetsAnd Wrenches I was just able to show a friend how easy it is who was doing it on a Mustang. He was super thrilled. He was lucky that his compressor is on the top of the engine... Thanks again.

@joshlouw1 8 лет назад

Man! This saves me about $800 at least! I also checked your other video on testing the Mass Air Flow Sensor and saved another $600+ there doing it myself so thanks very much!!

@t.w.w 7 лет назад

Thank you!! Watched your video, took off the old parts and got the news on in relatively no time at all. I would have had no idea what I was doing without your help.

@georgeali7189 6 лет назад

Just use the old bearing to hit the new one in. Fits perfectly.

@CvivaC 3 года назад

Never thought about it, thanks man.

@codesterbamb7744 3 года назад

My bearing was totally shot and fell apart haha

@td3993 3 года назад

Be sure to drive the center of the old bearing when driving in the center part of the new bearing, or the outer part when driving in the outer part of the new bearing (say, into the pulley recess). Do not drive one part of the bearing causing forces to run through the balls (or rollers) of the new bearing to the other part you intend to drive in or you will damage the balls.

@businessraptor134 Год назад

You want to clean the rust out and make it spotless if you want it to last. Give rust a starting point like the outside of the race and it's only got to migrate around the edge to the bearings and it eats itself again... waste of a part. See my freezer trick in the comments. And always prep your surfaces and remove *ALL* rust! Penetrating oil the surfaces and they will slide together easier too.

@PUMAONE 10 месяцев назад

Maybe put bearing in the freezer for a bit may also help. Will shrink it a .001" or so

@rslimosSG1 8 лет назад

Thank you. used this method on my 1998 towncar. The bearing was making a sound that i was convinced was air in the coolant. it turned out to be the a/c bearing vibrating.The only thing i did different was using the a heavy screwdriver to put pressure behind the pulley and gently tapping the side of it with a hammer vibrate it off. Worked like a dream and no more vibration... excellent video and saved me a fortune.

@appleovereasy 4 года назад

This is probably the most helpful video I have seen regarding proper spacing. Most videos dont even mention it. thx!

@jakedouglassmith8779 7 лет назад

I appreciate your video. I have a 2005 3.0 Ford Escape. I got a replacement pulley for $96.50 at O'Reilly's Auto. It already has the new bearing in it. The engine sets sideways so THANK GOD the pulley is easy to get to by taking off the tire and dust shield. I Pretty much followed your video step by step and the job was done within an hour. Thanks again. Signed, RU-vid Mechanic!

@kevinseeney4762 3 года назад

Your video really helped me out I deeply appreciate it I’ve never done this before follow your instructions everything perfect I was going to be changing the whole compressor but when I came across your video pointing out certain things mine ended up being the clutch as well save me time and stress thank you great job dude

@OG_overclocked 7 лет назад

I know this video was posted a few years ago but, thanks! just finished my truck and you made it easy. Keep em coming!

@erroldillon1548 8 лет назад

One of the best video I've seen on RU-vid! Your camera work is excellent! The sound and lighting and clarity of image was excellent! And you know what you're talking about! I'm a video professional and My hat is off to you! I thoroughly appreciate this video!

@chanvindersingh8573 3 года назад

Hey man you are a zenius too because you didn't waste a second & gave the excellent results, love you. *

@robtam7529 4 года назад

Put the bearing in the freezer for a few hours. Helps install.

@snochicka 3 года назад

That’s the trick that I use. The bearing almost drops in.

@kraiggrayson 5 лет назад

I never knew it was that easy to change the clutch. My own has stopped engaging and I was planning on carrying it to my AC guy. This video has given me the impetus to try fixing it myself.

@tinman9341 5 лет назад

I know it’s been since 2014 but thanks a lot buddy....you saved me at least $400 in a new compressor. Thanks!!!!!

@superturbocharged 8 лет назад

Great video. Just did my 2000 GT. I almost waited too long. Couldn't even turn the bearing by hand and there was no rubber it the outer section. I did find that the wheel shims I had for my old RC10 worked perfectly. There are very thin and I came in a .020. Hobby shops may still carry these if you need them in a pinch.

@nicolastremblay7527 4 года назад

I was thinking I needed a press, but the hammer really worked well and safe ! Thanks bud !

@NDLAP66 6 лет назад

@onewayFW Год назад

super helpful and just finished changing my ac clutch, bearing and pulley. Thanks for the help!

@chrisaskme811 2 года назад

Heat the bearing with a torch until its cherry red and put the pulley in the freezer, should drop right in fellas. Trust me.

@pauljastrzebiec-milewski4410 2 месяца назад

Heat the pooley with the torch??? What happens then with the lube inside bering and the plastic seal?? God FORBIT!!!😮😮😮

@budman3890 8 лет назад

The bearing on my AC clutch took a crap, of course it 95* out. I figure it's at least a $300 bill at the shop. After watching your video, I thought why not try it. I found the whole kit, clutch, pulley, coil, everything, at my local parts store for $90. Less than an hour later, voila, I have cold AC again. Super easy thanks to your video. Many Thanks!!

@fabianglr 7 лет назад

Very much appreciated my friend. Great info for us beginners. Keep up the good work!

@ballhawk387 2 месяца назад

Excellent, very concise. But in my case, everything that was supposed to pull out was very stuck. Also, found it critical to use *heavy duty* snap ring pliers. Most notably, the top part of the clutch (3:24), to the point I I was unable to even *pry* it out, and that's taken for granted in *every* video of this procedure I've found. I eventually got it out after alternately shooting Free All penetrating lubricant into the center hole and on top of the rim to get behind the plate and turning the plate, then putting it back with a longer center bolt of the same threading, so the vibration of driving the vehicle could work the lubricant in while driving it. Eventually I was able to free it by tapping the end with a hammer while turning it, bouncing the hammer along the edge while moving it over a bit. The Free All did work its way into the splines. Then I applied anti-seize to the splines so this doesn't happen again. As of this edit I'm waiting for the Free All to work through to be able to hammer the remains of the bearing out. Should have replaced the entire clutch assembly, because the coils looks beat. But that's a project for another day.

Really enjoyed your video. I was able to see that my clutch is moving, however I can’t measure it. I have normal low side pressure and was able to recently fill, but my high side is O. The blower and all fans are working. What would I check next?

@junggyuszko 8 лет назад

Hi! Thanks for the video very helpful. Is it possible to change the magnetic coil as well without removing the a/c unit? I have a 2003 Mazda 6 GG 2.3i, I believe they have the same a/c. Thank you!

Thank you very much for your video, it has been very useful for me. One Question: how long should the Clutch remain activated in each cycle?

@orlandoparedes669 8 лет назад

Thank you man!!! its good tutorial expert!!

@Dsturb85 9 лет назад

This was very helpful. My car is a 2010 corolla even though it's different from your car the system works the same way. My ac stopped blowing cold the other day and only gets cool when my car is in motion while idling it is warm. Can you tell me the best way to diagnose warm ac? I'm not low on coolant. My best guess is a leak or my compressor or clutch.

@mikeg5172 4 года назад

Good video.. 1 issue though.. you realize that spinning the pulley while using the pry bar isnt doing what you think it is. The inside of bearing that makes contact with the Ac.compressor is spinning so even though you are spinning the pulley... you are putting pressure on the same spot where its connected.. so u were making it bind more. Other than that.. helped me a lot.. thanks!

@Canodrilo 9 лет назад

Great Presentation! Any advice about 2015 Jaguar XF 2.0 T ? clutche is not engaging, low and high pressure are igual and around 125 psi. Since the system is not working I am assuming that it the expansion valve, but I am not an expert.
