The short answer is "NO." They do not sell shortened belts. To fix the problem, you can do two things. Remove the a/c clutch with a puller and install a new one (a real pain!). Or, replace the a/c compressor.
The serpentine should route the same as with the AC except fro the AC compressor. The belt will go straight past the compressor, so you will need a shorter belt to make the bypass work.
if you can reroute the belt to bypass the ac compressor all you need to work out is how much shorter the belt is that you would require
In Short Yes Did it on my own 01 civic Just need to get different belt for the alternator
Have your mechanic run the serpentine belt around the compressor. I had a bad compressor last year, and the mechanic just re-routed the belt until I could afford a new compressor-then he installed it and re-routed the belt again so it would run the compressor. Purchase a serpentine belt the same vehicle but without A/C. The shorter belt will drive all the other accessories and is routed the same as the belt used with A/C, except for the compressor.
Yes, as long as the belt is neither to short or too long, and the proper tension is maintained.
You will not be able to route a different belt without the compressor even if you use a shorter belt but you can sometimes get what is called a "bypass" pulley for some of the models but I would need to know the year and engine size to see if one is available.......
Shorter. Mercury has a shorter orbit than earth and 1 day in mercury = 59 days on Earth. 1 year on mercury= 88 days on earth.
Use a belt that is about 12 inches shorter. pete duralast (auto zone) 775k6 fits just fine. just bypass the A/C with the belt. Rog
probably
You can unplug the wire going to the ac clutch, but if the bearings are the problem you would want to ask the auto parts house about a non ac serpentine belt if they make one. There isn't a shorter belt, but the part stores do sell a dummy pulley that goes in place of the compressor.
177 days shorter on mercury than the earth
I did it on a 2002 T&C about 2 years ago and have not had any issues. I took out the a/c relay also. I kept the package to the shorter belt and if you want I can tell you the size - not sure if 01 and 02 are the same, though.
