Patient is an 89 100 with Nippondenso compressor ... According to Scott
Mockry's helpful hints at
http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/trouble_shooting/ac.html#clutch
... it seems my clutch pulley bearing is bad and can be replaced without
removing the compressor. Scott says " ... the front face of the compressor
clutch can be pulled off after removing the nut and lock washer." I've
removed the nut and lock washer but it appears a special tool is needed to
remove the front face. Bentley says this tool would be the expensive ($100
+) VW1623, similar to a bicycle crank puller which some people say actually
works. But crank pullers are availabe with various threads and the one I
have is too small.
Can anyone tell me a specific tool that would work for A/C clutch removal?
Something other than the VW tool mentioned in Bentley?
Thanks,
Dave C.
