Patient is an 89 100 with Nippondenso compressor ...  According to Scott
Mockry's helpful hints at

... 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.
