What kind of vehicle is the XE?
The AC clutch cannot be replaced without physically removing the compressor on a 1997 Mercury Sable. The compressor and magnetic plate must be removed before you can access the clutch.
Yes, you can remove the clutch from the air compressor on a 2001 Dodge Caravan without removing the entire compressor, but it requires some care. You will need to access the clutch assembly by removing the retaining nut and possibly the snap ring, then carefully pull off the clutch. Ensure the compressor is not under pressure and that you have the appropriate tools to avoid damaging any components.
Doesn't matter - if you open up the compressor, you open up the AC system. By law, this must be done by an ASE certified technician in an EPA approved shop with the proper equipment to evacuate and store the refrigerant. This prevents refrigerant from being released into the atmosphere. Whenever the AC system is opened up, the receiver-drier (if it's a Thermal Expansion Valve system) or accumulator (if it's a Fixed Orifice Tube system) must also be replaced.
Yes, pistons and bearings can potentially be replaced without removing the engine from a Ford Bronco II, but it requires significant disassembly of the engine components. Accessing the pistons typically means removing the cylinder heads, oil pan, and possibly other components, which can be challenging in a confined space. While it is technically feasible, it may be more practical and efficient to remove the engine for a complete overhaul, depending on the specific situation and tools available.
Most of the time, there is no way to route the belt without all the pulleys in place. As long as the bearing in the clutch on the AC turns it is alright, the compressor itself does not need to work.
when installing them always pack the bearings with grease, if the bearing has been run without grease and making a roaring sound it is probably bad and needs replaced
A bearing wall is one that supports or bears the weight of floors, walls and or roofs above it, while a non-bearing wall is simply separating areas. You can easily remove a non-bearing wall without much of a problem, but removing or modifying a bearing wall could be very difficult or impossible without causing a collapse.
AnswerNormally the answer is yes.What special tools do you have to use? Need advice on how to do this. I need for the serpentine belt to work even if the air conditioner doesn't. Thanks for any help you can give me on this.
In some cars, you can get the rear bearing by dropping the transmission. For the rest, no.
Yes, it can. But on a 1994, you are better off discharging the system, replacing the unit as a whole, and then recharging the system. This will enable you to find any problems in the A/C system that are unknown.
Before removing the compressor from a refrigerator or other appliances, you must 'reclaim' the refrigerant. This is done by connecting a compressor-pump on the access connection and pumping the refrigerant into an approved storage tank. once the refrigerant is out of the system, you crimp & cut the lines going into the compressor. There will be compressor lube in the compressor; don't spill it or let it leak out.
The system is very dirty from the first compressor that went out....... If you just replaced the a/c compressor without changing the expansion tube, the accumulator and flushing out the complete system then it will never work correctly......
