front cover. See Fig. 7.
Inspection
Check friction surfaces of clutch for damage due to excessive
heat, or excessive grooving due to slippage. Replace compressor
components as necessary. Oil or dirt on friction surfaces should be
cleaned with a solvent and a dry rag. Check coil for binding, shorted
or open leads.
Installation
1) Install coil assembly on compressor. Properly position
terminals. Using snap ring pliers, install snap ring. Using a plastic
mallet, drive pulley and bearing assembly onto neck of front cover.
Turn pulley, making sure that there is no noise and that rotation is
free. Ensure there is no pulley play.
2) Using snap ring pliers, install inner snap ring. Remove
all oil from clutch pulley. Fit key and clutch hub to shaft. Select
adjusting spacer which gives the correct clearance between pulley and
clutch hub.
3) Coat shaft nut with Loctite and install. Using a feeler
gauge, measure clutch hub-to-pulley clearance. Clearance should be .
020-.031" (.5-.8 mm). If specified clearance is not obtained, replace
adjusting spacer and readjust.
4) When replacing compressor clutch assembly, DO NOT forget
break-in operation. This is accomplished by engaging and disengaging
clutch 30 times.
