ok my a/c compresser is making a bad noise the clucth bearings must be gone . the a/c dont work so i dont care about that but now its the noise my car sound like a pos i can wigle the pully up and down and it dont matter if the clucth is engaged or disengaged it still sounds bad.


so, my question is can i just replace the clucth or pully bearings or something its bad , i dont wanna get a new compresser . WHAT SHOULD I DO ? can i replace the bearings , clucth , ? also how hard is it to remove the compresser ?


aLSO something to laugh to i taught it was my alternator bearings so i just replaced it and lol i find out it wasnt o well it was a 10 year old alt . i dont wanna take it off and put the old one back one lol.

 

basically what i would like to know is how hard is it to fix this compressers bearings in the pulley because i cant afford a new one i just bought a new alternator. maybe get a used one ? because my a/c dont work any ways i have a leak inside the car some where , probally the evaperater.

Please leave some advise THANKS .

 

Advise about replacing clutch and bearings...I dont have any for you.I would think its possible but it would take someone who does everyday to get it right.
But as far as removing the compressor I just did that this weekend it took about 1 1/2 hours.But that was removing lines and condensor,that canister thing and its holder also.The pump removal was pretty straight forward. Undo belt,Remove tensioner,disconnect lines from back of comp,remove 3 bolts on front of comp. and a 10mm on a bracket on rear of pump that one was disturbing and tight.No room for ratchet or breaker just an open-end.Then you just manipulate it forward and down thru the starter wires and PS lines.PLOP

BTW you can have first dibs on the pump/compressor(make offer),worked fine.Or I'm putting it on Ebay tonite or tomorrow.I have the whole AC system.But the evaperator is next weekend when I remove the whole HVAC module...evap. is in there.

thx for ur reply very helpful . my evap is bad so i need a temp fix so ur comp sounds good . u got mail .

 

ill do it my self i can do it i dont care my a/c dont work i just dont want my a/c comp to sieze up and slow down the belt.

does any one make a pully i could bolt inplace of the a/c comp ?

ill just buy a used comp and install myself its easy if u know what ur doing .

 

Might look for the AC delete pulley setup, probably cheaper than getting the bearing replaced in your clutch. The guys that put LT1s in trucks use them sometimes to keep from notching the frame. AC delete pulley. 16188051

 

please leave more info on the delete pulley and where to get one at . is that the part #? if so what manurfatur? thx

 

never mind that is the wrong part number thats why . that is the pcm . So i ordered the 1LE A/C Comp part #10115875 . thanks for letting me know this existed iwas about ready to break down and order a remaned comp. this will work better . Question what kind of gain of any thing will i see. i know i notice a big differnce since i was driving with a failing a/c comp bearings in the clucth . so any hp gain form this ? also how will my pcm do when i run w/o my comp will i get a ses light ? thanks
