Yes, the AC compressor pulley should turn relatively easily when the belt is off. This indicates that the pulley is not seized and that the bearings are functioning properly. If it is difficult to turn or feels gritty, it may suggest a problem with the compressor or its bearings. Always ensure to check for any unusual noises or resistance when turning it by hand.

How do you bypass the air compressor on a 1992 Chevy Silverado?
Hey Anthony==It isn't as easy as it sounds. You can install a belt for a car without a/c but you have to have an idler pulley installed. If the compressor is bad but the clutch is good, simply unplug the compressor so it won't run. If the clutch is burned and noisy, a trip to the wrecking yard might be in order and you can find a car without a/c. GoodluckJoe yes, you can buy a pulley that goes in place of the a/c compressor so u can run the stock belt. im a female and it's SO EASY i did it with NO help and NO directions at ALL
Serpentine belt replacement 2001 blazer?
Its actually pretty easy to do. Just about with all vehicles. You need to find your tension pulley. It is the pulley with a spring on it. Attach a socket to that pulley and pull it until the tension on the belt lossens up. The belt will drop off. To put the new belt on just follow the diagram that is usally on the cowl above the radiator that shows how the belt goes around all the pulleys. Use the belt tension pulley to get it on and the tensioner will automatically tighten to the belt. Make sure you get the right size belt for your truck. I'm not sure exactly where the tension pulley is on that car but it should show you on the diagram. It's very easy and you will be shocked how easy it is. Good luck.
Does the 1995 Pontiac Sunfire have a tension pulley?
If your car has a serpentine belt it will have a tensioner pulley. A tensioner pulley is easy to spot. All of your bolt on accessories i.e. water pump, alternator, a/c compressor etc. will have a pulley to run each one. There will be 2 other types of pulleys, a idler pulley and a tensioner. The idler pulley will be a single stationary pulley with a bolt going through the middle and the tensioner pulley will be on a spring loaded piviot.

Ac belt on 99 Chrysler lhs?
It is behind the Serpentine belt. To replace it you will need to loosen the tensioning pulley and remove the serpentine belt first. Then loosen the AC Compressor and swing it towards the engine to release the tension on the belt. Install in the reverse order. At this time, it is a good idea to inspect your tensioner pulley and replace if required. This is an OEM item, hard to find on short notice and easy to change at this stage.

How do you replace the water pump on a 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.5L?
You must remove the cam belt on the LHS (facing forward) of the engine. This involves removing the alternator, dip stick and perhaps you will need to move the AC compressor and belt to make room too. Then there is a plastic cam belt top cover to remove followed by the crankshaft belt master pulley. That will be difficult as the engine will turn. Then there is the cam belt lower cover and in there behind an idler pulley is the water pump. Easy !! :-)
How do you loosen a serpentine belt on a Lincoln LS?
as new as the car is it would have a belt tensioner pulley...its a pulley with a spring loaded pulley to self tightn the belt...if u take the right size of socket for at the pulley and turn the pulley down...but not by unscewing the bolt at the pulley...by using the bolt as something the to hang on to the pulley so when u turn it the pulley will retract and losen the belt to take off...very easy but takes some muscle....if it doesnt have a belt tensioner pulley it would be the alternater that will have to be moved so the belt losens....if that's the case have when u put the new belt on you have to make sure the belt is tight enogh or to tight....the belt will have play in it but with strong applided movement...also the serpentine belt doesnt have to be timed
On Lexus ES 300 Pulley that is located beside the engine and is on the serpentine belt with the alternator is sqealing what is the problem?
If you're describing the idler pulley or the tensioner pulley, it's probably a bad bearing. Pulley bearing failure is common and relatively easy to repair. Remove tension from the serpentine belt then turn the pulley back and forth with your fingers. It should make no noticable noise and should turn smoothly. If you can hear any grinding noise or if the pulley feels like the bearing is grinding, replace it.

How do you fix a 1998 Grand Marquis serpentine belt?
This is an easy job. There is a small spring-loaded idler pulley that maintains the proper tension on the belt. To remove the belt, you must first relieve tension on this pulley. Do this by inserting a � drive ratchet or breaker bar into the center of the idler pulley and apply enough pressure to slip the belt off. Before removing, pay close attention to how the belt snakes around all the pulleys. There should be a diagram in the engine compartment, near the hood latch. If not, sketch it before removing the belt. Reinstall the belt in accordance with the diagram. It is easier if you do the idler pulley last.
