Air con bearing

[scojohara]

Has anyone changed this bearing and how difficult was it. I had a quick look and I didn't see any easy way to get the pully off. Help please

The bearing is spot welded into the pulley so you have to buy the whole thing which is around $300 from memory and you also need a special tool to pull the clutch off. I made one from assorted brass pipe fittings but I can't really explain how to do it. If you manage to get the clutch off then the pulley is held on by a circlip and comes off quite easily.

thanks for the reply. Possibly not the response I was after at $300 but thanks all the same.

From memory a new compressor is around $450
