how do you replace the AC compressor clutch on 2006 liberty
The engine computer.
It is inside the torque converter.
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.
yes
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.
Press one of the Schrader Valves to see if pressure is there. Turn AC on and look at the compressor clutch for engagement. If it won't kick on, the system is low or the compressor is bad must replace receiver/dryer asst also.
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.
