Used AC Compressor Clutch For Sale

The AC compressor clutch is one of the many parts that work together to provide air conditioning for your vehicle. Many times when the clutch fails, the entire compressor is replaced.

The AC compressor is powered by a belt from your vehicle’s engine. When you turn on the AC, the clutch is designed to engage the compressor shaft and start the system. Failure can occur when the clutch no longer engages the shaft. The compressor clutch can also fail in the engaged position. In this situation, the compressor will continue to turn even when the system is not calling for AC.

To complete the replacement project, you will need a clutch puller and clutch installer. You should also have a pair of snap ring pliers to remove the ring that holds the pulley in place. In addition, you will need a puller for the pulley. Working with the right tools always makes the job easier.

You can replace the clutch on most vehicles without completely removing the compressor or releasing Freon from the system. You will need to remove the front and rear bolts and raise the compressor to access the clutch. Follow a good repair guide to ensure you install the clutch correctly.

Once you have installed the replacement clutch, check the spacing between the clutch and pulley with a feeler gauge. While each manufacturer will have their own specifications, the average spacing should be between 0.013 and 0.032. If the spacing is too great, the clutch will not engage. Too little space and it may become stuck against the compressor.
