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.

You are indeed a professional and this is the exact information i was looking for to assist me in checking my compressor

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. Cheers from Aus

A couple of years ago I removed a shim on my 260K 1998 Frontier to reduce the gap to fix it, didn't even need to take the AC belt off to do that !

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

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.

Best auto video I have ever seen. Great job covering the potential hazards of this process. Fast and effective communication. Outstanding and well done!

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.

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.

What an amazing video !!! Simple, complete and straight to the point !! I replaced the bearing once, as I had noise when tut clutch kicked in, as you said get the number and it was $10 Put the pulley in the press removed it, pressed a new one in

Awesome video. Straight to the point, informative and no time wasted. Thank you.

By far best DIY instructional video I have seen on car repairs! Great job man! Look forward to learning alot more from this guy! Ty

I've never pulled one apart like this. Ive replaced a few; two days ago on a 03 Trailblazer being most recent. Had issues with some kind of pressure release, sounding like a blow-off valve on a Subaru. Pulley and clutch were fine, spinning wise. Great video, thank you!

What a great video! You're a good teacher and made understanding the fundamentals very easy. Thank you!

Awesome explanations! For someone who doesn't do a lot of auto work this makes this task clear.

Very nice, clear video for people who can take it straight with no comedy act or annoying musical background! Thanks RnW.

Don't strike the pulley for removal if you intend to reuse it (ie: only replacing the coil). You risk bending the pulley out of shape and it will not mate with the clutch well. The pulley is literally formed to the front face in 3 places less than 1/4" each wide...easier to bend than you might think. Also, replacing the bearing isn't normally as simple as pressing it in or out. You will usually have to dremel/grind the impact factory points that hold the bearing in place.

Great video, you make it look so easy, which I'm sure it is for someone with more experience than myself. Well done!

Great tutorial! Very clear and informative, I'll be subscribing for sure!

Be careful when you test the coil. Inside there is a snubber diode in parallel with coil itself. If the coil assy is already broken, no worries. but if not you may damage it by inverse polarity applied to the internal diode.

This was one of the best DIY videos I've seen. The info and the quality is excellent! Keep it up!

Outstanding video, very clear instructions with lots of helpful tips. You have given me confidence to carry out my own repair. Many thanks, God bless.

I'm not a mechanic but this tutorial has given me the confidence to do it myself. Great Video. Thanks

Thanks for the technical explanation. Understanding how something works really helps me understand what could be wrong. The AC in my truck was not very cold so I kept adding refrigerant. Now it's fully charged and still won't get cold. Thinking maybe clutch is slipping or something.

if the clutch is slipping do you replace the clutch?

You have a natural teaching ability. Very straight and clear and complete explanations.

Excellent video. Seeing the pulley with the clutch pulled off makes me think perhaps instead of having a trashed compressor, actually it's the pulley bearing itself. If I can get to it in the vehicle, heck of a lot less work- I was prepared to go to the U-pull it and grab a compressor, but now that may not be necessary. Thanks.

Excellent video - clearly explained and great camera work\lighting\audio!

Awesome video I just got my 609, at my work we always replace the whole compressor/clutch assembly so this video was very helpful for me to try to learn things the proper way.

Exactly what I was looking for! Answered my question perfectly…thanks !!!!

Tip: Instead of that behemoth battery. Keep a tiny 9V battery at hand, preferably with a piggy wire. It's perfect to test most 12V car "things". Including sensors, AC clutch, bulbs, and a big etc! Useless to say it's way more handy and maneuverable than a huge heavy battery. If one want to be really fancy, attach some insulated alligator clips to the wires. ;-) Cheers

Really good demonstration I can’t believe there’s thumbs down on this

Thanks, this video was very informative. The A/C went out in a 1998 Toyota Tundra & I am trying to determine just what the problem is & your demonstration of how the compressor & clutch operate was very helpful esp since I am new at this;-)

Sir, thank you for doing these types of videos. These really help guys like me to learn and do work on my vehicles. Thanks and may God Bless you !

Gives a great look at how magnetic clutch components work. Helps me diagnose bearing problem and wether I can do the job without removing the compressor .

Excellent video.. Very easy to understand and straight to the point, thank you.

I like that you did all of this outside of the car making it easy to see, instead of dark camera angles and poor lighting like other videos.

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

Wow you sure took out all the mystery on replacing a clutch. Been wondering how to do it myself. I am a decent backyard mechanic. Now I know how. Thank u sir. Very good video. Make some more on the dodge caravan. Heh heh 😁😋👍

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.

Great Video! Thank you for posting this, you did an excellent job explaining all the components.

Very informative video. One thing - what is most common reason for malfunction of AC compressor clutch? I mean, what part fails and compressor stop engaging and working? Is it burnt coil? Or worn clutch so it does not have enough contact (it slips)? Or is it bearing? Cheers!

I just came across this video, the narration, camerawork, step by step instructions made me a subscriber. Superb job and thanks, I can now replace the bearing on my ac pulley.

Felt at ease the way he hammered it and liked the tear down . Was worried about replacing compressor while problem with bearing. Now car has no annoying noise no more. Thank you!!!!

Excellent! Clear & Concise great presentation Thank you

If you don't have the right size socket, you can seat the new bearing by hammering on the old bearing. Thanks for the video. Good stuff.

If you go with used compressors you are just asking for trouble

Use the old bearing to put the new one in. It's the proper size to push on the outer edge of the new bearing.

I didn't see any negative comments and I wonder where thumbs down came from! It's very rare to see such a detailed video on KZread. I would never attempt this myself for lack of tools and my mechanical ineptitude, but I enjoyed learning from your video.

This is an absolutely outstanding video I've been looking for a video that makes sense to me regarding my 05 Honda Accord. the mechanic put in the compressor with the wires exposed one of them was actually laying on the belt of the clutch. I closed the wires with duct tape. Now I just need to know which wire's go where I do have a picture of them so if you can contact me I'd be happy to share and I'd appreciate any help I can get!! I will definitely use you every time I have a question regarding a mechanical device on my car. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks so much u broke that down very simply and you were very helpful in my mission to fix my a/c clutch on my own . take care

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.

This was a great video and really explained the way the compressor clutch works. My PT Cruiser gets really cold when it works, but then the clutch stops grabbing, despite it being turned on. Both my low and high pressure switches are working and I have bypassed them too. The compressor starts turning, but then seems to lock up and scream, like the clutch is slipping or the compressor is locked up and the serpentine belt is slipping and making the noise. It only happens shortly after starting, for about 30 seconds, but the clutch is disengaged and not turning the compressor. I will probably change the compressor, but now I also have the option of trying to repair the compressor. I'll see what to do after I get down inside. Thanks for the explanation.
