Dodged a bullet....compressor is fine. Replaced the pulley (noticed the old one was also warped a bit), clutch plate/shim and nice cold air coming out of the vents. That clutch sure spins a lot more freely when it's not matted against the pulley. LOL... Ordered a new belt though. Cleaned...

Of course the clutch plate doesn't come with shims. I installed the old pulley and tried both the new and old clutch plate with the one old shim and there's zero clearance. The clutch plate's been riding on that pulley for awhile. Just ordered a new set of shims which will be here on Thursday...

All great inputs. If I have to change out the compressor I'll do everything at once. As mentioned, no use to half ass it. The clutch plate was delivered today. Need to see if it came with spacers when I get home. I don't think it does. The old one could work, I'll need to measure the...

Agreed. I bought a new pulley yesterday. It will be here Thursday. I'm running an 8 rib set up so pieced the clutch plate and pulley together. The coil seems fine. Guess we'll see how it runs. May have to change out the compressor, hopefully not.

Will these 6 divets keep me from removing this bearing? I've whacked it a few times and hasn't budged. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

Yeah, you know I'm not going to let anyone touch this car. I was looking around to rent, but this will work if needed. I wouldn't ask anyone to work in this oven. If needed I'll reach out to borrow them. Much appreciated as always. And thanks to the rest of you as well...good information to...

I have an 06, so the part numbers are a bit different. I think I need to take the hub/pulley/clutch apart first to see what happened. Could be the clutch broke as well and if so, I'd just get the entire assembly, i.e., CL0521C. I have an 8 rib pulley, so that's the only part I would not need...

Is it possible that it's only the clutch hub that needs to be replaced? https://tinyurl.com/Clutch-Hub Or maybe the entire clutch? https://tinyurl.com/Clutchassembly

What's that seal in the front that blew grease everywhere? The compressor is not seized. The system did start blowing cool (not cold) air again after it happened. Could I replace the compressor and receiver drier myself and then take it in to shop to check for leaks, vacuum the system and...

Why do ACs always take a shit during the summer? LOL I don't know anything about compressors. Is this one dead? Sure made a mess.

I like that. I have the Rad Fan switch from the relay on the opposite side. I just got a new harness from AFCO for my H/E w/ dual fans (another story). I've always wanted to run the fans when I wanted to...i.e., not cruising down the freeway. I have a switch under the hood for the H/E pump...

You can run a wire from the fan relay to a grounded switch in the cabin. I had it wired like this for years with no issues. https://www.s197forum.com/threads/jumper-for-high-speed-fan.17424/

Three year correction...that's supposed to say steering "rack" not "shaft". Oops....

Thanks for the link. Found it on Amazon as well along with this caliper press tool. No more using C clamp. https://www.amazon.com/FIVE-BANANAS-Caliper-Ratcheting-Spreader-dp-B091TNB1WH/dp/B091TNB1WH/ref=dp_ob_title_auto?th=1

I didn't use a solenoid. It's not needed. https://www.s197forum.com/threads/battery-relocation.140038/
