RE: Compressor, she go "Ptooey"

I didn't get the clutch tool, but I wish I had -- I pretty much
destroyed the pulley getting the clutch off. It wouldn't surprise me if
Hancock Industries can supply it.

I just replaced my Nippendoso compressor with one I got at the junkyard.
My
"new" one was recharged with R12 yesterday and so far, so good :-)

I was wondering how difficult it would be to rebuild the broken one.
I've
never done that before and I thought it could be a fun thing to try &
learn
about.  On a scale of 1 to 10, with a 1 being changing an oil filter and
10
being a complete engine rebuild, how would you rate it?  How long did it
take
you?  Where did you get the special clutch tool you mentioned?

Once I'm done, should I keep it to replace the replacement?  Or is there
a
market for the compressor?
