This guy is more real and sincere than so many mechanics out there. Thank you Sir and thank you KZread University.

I’ve been researching videos today about to correct my AC on my own, and by far, this has been the best! I appreciate how you modeled via the compressor itself in terms of what was the compressor, the bearing, clutch, etc.

Thanks man. Replaced the clutch plate. With labour all cost me around $17. The guy had to search for a reconditioned one in the junkyard. Now my A/C is working again. Kudos to you sir.

Concise. To the point. Easy to understand. One of the best DIY videos I've seen so far. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I just changed the bearing on my 2002 Suburban and your video was spot on. A tip if like to forward. On the Suburban the compressor is surrounded by the idler arm, frame and radiator hose which made getting it apart a challenge. When I removed the bolt in the middle of the compressor driver I used an old metal oil filter wrench to hold the compressor driver in place while I turned the bolt. Worked perfectly in the confined space. Thanks again.

Excellent video! Straightforward, well-organized and the video quality is GREAT! Much appreciated for this and for your directing us to the more detailed videos on the right.

I have watched countless repair videos and I have got to say, this might be the only clear and concise video, on any car repair I've ever seen, thanks

I cringe every time he tells you to use a hammer to pound out the bearing and to hammer it in to reinstall it as well. It's like this guy never heard of a bearing removal/install tool.

Great information for DIYrs. Learnt a lot of this when repairing customers A/C systems. The Brown dust around the clutch is always a good indication of a failing bearing. I have also found the spacer will need to be thinner or take out a shim or two if they are fitted, this compensates for the wear on the pulley and hub faces in use. always ensure the airgap is back within spec as to greater gap can cause non-engagement or worse overheating of the magnet coil.

Great video man very informative

Very good tutorial on the function and disassembly of the A/C clutch, bearing, pulley and stator. Thanks.

One of the best Videos I've ever seen . Great explaining and strait to the point

Very well done clear explanation. One small point the bearing your refer to is the AC clutch bearing, not the AC compressor bearing, which would be inside the compressor. Additionally you should be able to check the clutch activation coil with an ohm meter to see if there is continuity. No continuity through the coil = a burned out coil. Since the compressor is near the 12 V battery in the car, you should be able to use a small clip wire to test the coil in the fashion you did. I hope you are correct about the polarity of the colored wires. It might be a good idea to use an ohm meter to check for continuity to ground before apply power, or you could also check for voltage in the wire with either a volt meter or pin poke tester that uses a light which is usually easier than a volt meter.

Great video my friend. I especially liked the way you detailed everything. Thanks & God bless!

Best video on the subject I have seen, the explanations were perfect.

Awesome tutorial my friend. Cool breakdown. I'm needing to do this for my 93' Buick Roadmaster 5.7l. It actually has three clutch-packs built within.

Oil is PAG (polyalkylene glycol) - can buy from specialist auto shops; new compressors always fully charged with PAG; POE oil specified for hybrid vehicles as not electrically conductive. PAG is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the atmosphere if given a chance) and that's why you keep air/moisture out of the system.
