I am replacing all idlers and need to install new clutch bearing, system is charged and working r12, so I want to remove a/c clutch on car, I have everything apart and center bolt is out and have tried a puller kit but it didn't have the correct lug and center bolt to remove, I have not done this before and can use some advice on the correct way without damaging it, I believe it's a Pitts unit, thanks in advance,Pete
It is pressed on with a Nut to help secure it. Swing by a Pep Boys or Auto Zone if you have them there, they have Tools that you barrow.
If it is the standard type clutch, it should have 5/8-11 threads in the center where the clutch bolt goes in. Screw in the 5/8 bolt into the clutch and it will push against the shaft on the compressor to free the clutch.
Once removed from the compressor, there should be two snap rings holding the bearing.
Thanks Guys, I did get a kit from auto zone, but did not have the correct parts, I have the bolt to press off and I believe I need a 3 prong spaner wrench to hold center while tightening the bolt,I just didn't want to damage the unit
You can usually hold it with the belt and give it a quick blast with an impact gun if necessary.
