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.

How do you replace the alternator on a 1998 Chevy Malibu LS?

There are two bolts one is visible on the front and one on the rear. There is a nut on the right side next to the ground on the alternator. once it, the ground, and the molex plug are removed it pops right out. One key thing to remember when putting it back on is to be sure to put the belt on before you put the bolts back in, or you have to mess with the tension pulley.

Can you just change the ac pulley on an 03 jeep liberty instead of the whole compressor?

Yeah, but it's a bugger, you'll need a special puller so you don't damage the compressor, and getting the new one back on is tough. It's why most people just replace the compressor.


Why have you had the compressor replaced three times in a 1991 Honda Prelude?

You can't just replace the ac compressor itself... you have to replace several parts of the system... any auto parts store should tell you that when you buy one especially if you have been back three times.... usually there is stuff in the lines still that gets pulled into the new compressor and voila you're stuck with the same problem you began with.

Where do you find a diagram and instructions to replace an ac compressor in a 1997 Geo Prism?

Recommend have a/c specialist replace compressor because system should be at the very least "evacuated" after compressor change to remove any contaminents in system. Thanks for your comments and advise. I have already had the system professionally evacuated, but they want a fortune to exchange the compressor to tune of $800.00 and I did get different estimates. My car takes R-134 which I can put in myself. Back in the 60's thru the 80's I used to replace the compressors and refrigerant until they disallowed that. I just need to know where the hidden bolt(s) are.


Already changed fuse and air conditioning compressor clutch assembly but no power going to cause the compressor to kick on to pull back the clutch so that compressor kicks on what could be the cause?

What specific kind of vehicle do you have? It does sound like the clutch may be bad, but we also need to know what you are working on. You need to run power straight from the battery to the compressor. If is still does not engage then you need to replace the compressor and clutch, they are dead. If they do engage, then you have a wiring or computer issue.
