5. Pull the A/C clutch pulley from the A/C compressor.

INSTALLATION
1. Clean the pulley bearing surface of the A/C compressor head to remove any dirt or corrosion.






2. Install the A/C clutch pulley on the A/C compressor. The bearing is a slip-fit on the A/C compressor head and, if properly aligned, should slip on easily.
3. Install the A/C clutch pulley retaining snap ring with the bevel side of the snap ring out.
4. Place one medium thickness A/C clutch hub spacer inside the A/C clutch hub spline opening and slide the A/C clutch on the end of the compressor shaft.
5. Thread a new 6 mm A/C clutch hub retaining bolt into the end of the A/C compressor shaft. Hold the A/C clutch with the Compressor Clutch Holding Tool T94P-19703-AH and tighten the A/C clutch hub retaining bolt to 11-14 Nm (8-10 ft lb).
6. Check and adjust the A/C clutch air gap.
7. When installing a new A/C clutch, cycle it 10 times at idle to burnish it and prevent slippage
