(9) Install the puller through-bolts (Special Tool
C-6461) through the puller flange and into the jaws
of the rotor puller and tighten (Fig. 11). Turn the
puller center bolt clockwise until the rotor pulley is
free.
(10) Remove the screw and retainer from the
clutch coil lead wire harness on the compressor front
housing (Fig. 12).
(11) Remove the snap ring from the compressor
hub and remove the clutch field coil (Fig. 13). Slide
the clutch field coil off of the compressor hub.
INSPECTION
Examine the friction surfaces of the clutch pulley
and the front plate for wear. The pulley and front
plate should be replaced if there is excessive wear or
scoring.
If the friction surfaces are oily, inspect the shaft
and nose area of the compressor for oil. Remove the
felt from the front cover. If the felt is saturated with
oil, the shaft seal is leaking and the compressor must
be replaced.
Check the clutch pulley bearing for roughness or
excessive leakage of grease. Replace the bearing, if
required.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the clutch field coil and snap ring.
(2) Install the clutch coil lead wire harness retain-
ing clip on the compressor front housing and tighten
the retaining screw.
(3) Align the rotor assembly squarely on the front
compressor housing hub.
(4) Install the pulley bearing assembly with the
installer (Special Tool C-6871) (Fig. 14). Thread the
installer on the shaft, then turn the nut until the
pulley assembly is seated.
(5) Install the external front snap ring with snap
ring pliers. The bevel side of the snap ring must be
facing outward. Press the snap ring to make sure it
is properly seated in the groove.
