You use a feeler gauge and set it to 35 thousands, some clutches need shims while other do not need shims, also you will need an installer depending on the year, make and model.........
no just remove the belt then the bolt that holds the clutch on dont loose the shim and make shure the air gap is correct.
how do you replace the AC compressor clutch on 2006 liberty
The clutch bearing for an AC compressor is located in the center of the clutch. If the bearing goes bad, then the clutch is replaced as a whole part rather than changing the bearing.
This requires special tools to remove and install the ac clutch and bearing. The air gap on the ac clutch must be done during install.
At the front of the AC compressor....
no, unless u have to remove the compressor unit. The clutch can be replaced with out removing the compressor if you have room to do it.
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.
With the ac off your clutch the outer non belt driven part will not be turning. When it is turned on it will start to spin.
The AC clutch is on the front of the compressor where the belt rides. When power is applied to the clutch it engages to turn the compressor. It is basically a magnet a/c compressor clutch is the ound thing on the front of the compressor with pulley wheel attached. this clutch is an electro magnetic clutch that when electricity is supplied, engages so as the a/c compressor is driven ,which can then pump freon thru the ac system
Oiling the a/c clutch will cause the clutch to slip and burn up........
The ac compressor clutch is mounted on the front of the compressor and is a replaceable part. However depending on the complexity of the clutch change out it may be overall better to change the compressor and clutch together.
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.
