[V8] A/C Compressor Clutch R&R

[Kneale Brownson]

I replaced the A/C clutch on my 200q20v shortly before I ended up taking it
off the compressor and putting it back on a rebuilt one.   You really need
the puller tool.  You can rent or buy one for way less than the Audi tools
specialists want through your local FLAPS.   I got mine at Autozone.  Their
part number for the tool is 27005.
