The AC clutch on a Ford FS-10 is mounted on the front of the compressor. The clutch is removed by using a puller after the clutch nut is taken off. Mount the puller, and turn the center bolt. This will pull the clutch off of the compressor shaft.
The ac clutch is held on with a single nut, and can be removed with a remover tool. It the tool will not fit in the space available, then the entire compressor will have to be removed to replace the clutch.
Nope......as long as you have the correct tools for the job it can be done on the truck. 1. Clutch hub remover and installer. 2. Snap ring pliers. 3. Clutch remover and installer. When finished don't forget to set the air gap on the clutch hub....
I've heard of people using a 3-jawed puller. The compressor is a ford FS10/Motorcraft YC-189. You'll need a tool to hold the clutch so it doesn't spin. A universal clutch holder tool (rent from local auto parts place or buy, about $20) will help. I'm about to replace the compressor on our 99 so if I get more details, I'll post.
just above the ac clutch
.010" to .015" works. Recheck after the new clutch has burnished.
The ac compressor clutch is mounted on the front of the compressor and is a replaceable part. However depending on the complexity of the clutch change out it may be overall better to change the compressor and clutch together.
check clutch fan
Do y need puller to replace ac clutch on compressor. 2004 expition
trying to replace the ac clutch on my f350 6.0 and the bolt up front seems to be a special one any sugestions
If the belt's good, check the compressor clutch.
Check the ac compressor and clutch to see where the noise is coming from. Also check the compressor drive belt for wear.
You will need a special puller available at automotive parts stores.
