how do you replace the AC compressor clutch on 2006 liberty
My car is going through the same issue with the A/C. You CAN replace the compressor clutch without replacing the compressor, but the caveat is that you can't tell if the compressor is any good without a clutch. So basically you are gambling that the compressor will still be good by only replacing the clutch. Hope this helps!
My 99 is in the shop as we speak for a compressor. I have heard that some people replace only the clutch...
It is possible to replace the air conditioner clutch without replacing the entire compressor if you can find somewhere that sells just the clutch assembly and can get the appropriate tool to remove the pulley to get to the clutch. Try buying a repair manual and looking in there.
This is not cost effective. It's quicker and cheaper to replace the compressor.
If the AC pulley is locking up when the ac compressor clutch engages, it's not a clutch problem, it's a compressor problem. But yes, the AC clutch can usually be replaced separately. The problem is, if the clutch is worn out the compressor is probably worn out as well. It usually isn't that much more to replace the whole thing.
Look under the hood in the power distribution box and you will see a group of relays and it will be the top one on row one (compressor clutch relay).........
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.
replace the whole thing. you can do a new one or get one from a junk yard
Do y need puller to replace ac clutch on compressor. 2004 expition
My 1996 Chrysler Cirrus started making noise about 2-3000 miles ago. Had a difficult time determing what was causing the noise since it went away a minute or two later after warming up. Now it is constant and the clutch is starting to smoke from friction. Driving any further may cause it to freeze and snap the belt. I tried to pull the clutch off but too difficult. Guess I have to pay $6-700 to replace it.
Now days it is not feesable to replace just the clutch on the a/c. Just as cheap to buy a compressor and vaccum and have it serviced right. Older methods are just gone due to the crappy economy and cheaper parts..
