(4) Remove rotor-pulley retaining snap ring with
Snap Ring Pliers C-4574. Slide rotor-pulley assembly
from compressor. Use a plastic hammer, if necessary. (5) Loosen the lead wire retaining clamps and re-
move lead wire from the compressor front end plate.
Disconnect the lead wire from the thermal limiter
switch. (6) Remove the snap ring which secures the field
coil-core assembly to the front boss (Fig. 2). Note the
alignment of field coil-core assembly when removing.
WARNING: TAKE CARE THAT THE SNAP RING
DOES NOT FLY OUT FROM THE GROOVE.
INSPECTION
Examine frictional faces of the rotor-pulley and ar-
mature plate for wear. The pulley and plate should
be replaced if there is excessive wear or scoring. If
the friction surfaces are oily, inspect the shaft nose
area of the compressor for excess oil. If excess oil is
present, the shaft seal is leaking and will have to be
replaced. Check rotor-pulley bearing for roughness or exces-
sive grease leakage. Check for bearing grease con-
tamination on armature plate faces. The rotor-pulley and armature plate should be re-
placed as a matched set.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the back of the field coil-core over the
compressor front boss. This will allow the locating
nipple on the back of the coil to line up with the lo-
cating indentation on the front boss. This ensures
correct angular position of the clutch coil and lead
wire. (2) Fasten lead wire to the compressor front plate
with the retaining clip. Connect the lead wire to the
thermal limiter switch. (3) Install field coil-core retaining snap ring (bevel
side outward) with Snap Ring Pliers C-4574. Press
snap ring to make sure it is properly seated in the
groove.
CAUTION: If snap rings on field coil-core and rotor-
pulley are not fully seated, they will vibrate out. A
clutch failure and possible severe damage to the
compressor could result.
(4) Slide pulley assembly onto compressor.
CAUTION: Do not mar the pulley frictional surface. (5) Install rotor-pulley assembly retaining snap
ring (bevel side outward) with Snap Ring Pliers
C-4574. Press the snap ring to make sure it is prop-
erly seated in the groove. (6) If the original armature plate assembly and ro-
tor-pulley assembly are to be reused, the old shim(s)
can be used. If not, place a trial stack of shims, 2.54
mm (0.10 in.) thick, on the compressor shaft against
the shoulder of the armature plate. (7) Install armature plate to the compressor shaft.
Note the machined mating splines (Fig. 3).

(8) With the front clutch plate assembly tight
against the shims, measure the air gap between ar-
mature plate and rotor-pulley face with feeler gauges
(Fig. 4). The air gap should be between 0.35 and 0.65
mm (0.013 and 0.025 inch). If proper air gap is not
obtained, add or subtract shims until desired air gap
is obtained.
(9) Install compressor shaft nut. Tighten nut to
17.5 N Im (155 in. lbs.) torque.
Shims may compress after tightening shaft bolt.
Check air gap in four or more places to verify if air
gap is still correct. Spin pulley for final check. (10) Install the compressor onto the mount.
CLUTCH/COIL BREAK-IN
After a new clutch/coil has been installed, cycle the
A/C clutch 20 times (5 sec. on and 5 sec. off). During
this procedure, run engine at 1500-2000 rpm and set
the A/C on the HIGH mode. This procedure (burnish-
ing) will seat the opposing friction surfaces and pro-
vide a higher clutch torque capability.
THERMAL LIMITER SWITCH
The Thermal Limiter Switch (Fig. 5) is bolted to
the side of the compressor case. It measures compres-
sor surface temperature and is used as a safety de-
vice to cut battery voltage to the compressor clutch
coil. This is performed if compressor case tempera-
ture is excessive. This switch is NOT USEDto cycle the clutch coil.
After the compressor has cooled to normal operating
temperature, the switch will reset.
DIAGNOSIS
The switch can remain bolted to the compressor for
testing. (1) Disconnect the wiring connectors from the ther-
mal limiter switch. (2) Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity be-
tween the two wiring leads. If continuity is not de-
tected, replace switch. Also check for possible
compressor overheating.
² Switch cut-out (no continuity) occurs at 125ÉC
6 3ÉC (255ÉF 637ÉF).
² Switch cuts back in (continuity) at 110ÉC 66ÉC
(230ÉF 642ÉF).
REMOVAL
The refrigerant system can remained fully charged
for thermal limiter switch replacement. After removing the thermal limiter switch, always
replace with a new unit. (1) Disconnect wiring connectors from switch.
(2) Remove the bolt retaining the switch holding
clamp and the switch to the side of the compressor
(Fig. 6). (3) Pry the switch from compressor case with a
screwdriver.
CLEANING
Remove silicone filler from the socket and thor-
oughly clean the socket with thinners.
INSTALLATION
(1) Place the new thermal limiter switch so that
the flat copper surface faces upward. (2) Apply the specified silicone filler (KE 347 RTV)
to the flat copper surface until the surface is evenly
covered. When silicone is applied, apply only from
tube and not by hand. (3) Install the thermal limiter switch into the
socket and secure it with the thermal protector (lim-
iting switch) fixing plate and bolt. Tighten the bolt

DESCRIPTION
The Sanden compressor is a 7 piston design. Sys-
tem lubrication is provided by 135 ml 615 ml (4.6 oz.
6 0.5 oz.) of 500 viscosity refrigerant oil.
The clutch used on the compressor consists of 3 ba-
sic components:
² The pulley
² Front plate
² Field coil
The pulley and field coil are attached to the front
head of the compressor with tapered snap rings. The
hub is keyed to the compressor shaft and is retained
on the shaft with a self-locking nut. Special service
tools are required to remove and install the clutch
plate on the compressor shaft.
COMPRESSOR
The A/C compressor may be removed and posi-
tioned without discharging the refrigerant system.
Discharging is not necessary if removing the A/C
compressor clutch/coil assembly, engine, cylinder
head, or generator.
WARNING: REFRIGERANT PRESSURES REMAIN
HIGH EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE MAY BE
TURNED OFF. BEFORE REMOVING A FULLY
CHARGED COMPRESSOR, REVIEW THE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS SECTION IN THIS
GROUP. DO NOT TWIST OR KINK THE REFRIGER-
ANT LINES WHEN REMOVING A FULLY CHARGED
COMPRESSOR. SAFETY GLASSES MUST BE
WORN.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(2) Loosen and remove drive belts (refer to group
7, Cooling System) and disconnect compressor clutch
wire lead. (3) Remove refrigerant lines from compressor (if
necessary). (4) Remove compressor attaching nuts and bolts.
(5) Remove compressor. If refrigerant lines were
not removed, lift compressor/clutch assembly and tie
it to a suitable component. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH/COIL ASSEMBLY
The magnetic clutch consists of a stationary elec-
tro-magnetic coil and a rotating pulley and plate as-
sembly. The electromagnetic coil is retained on the com-
pressor with a snap ring and is dimpled to maintain
its position. The pulley and plate assembly are mounted on the
compressor shaft. When the compressor is not in operation, the pul-
ley free wheels on the clutch hub bearing. When the
coil is energized the plate is magnetically engaged
with the pulley and turns the compressor shaft.
REMOVAL
(1) Insert the 2 pins of the front plate spanner into
any 2 threaded holes of the clutch front plate (Fig.
1). Hold clutch plate stationary. Remove hex nut
with 19 mm (3/4 inch) socket.
(2) Remove clutch front plate using puller. Align
puller center bolt to compressor shaft (Fig. 2). Thumb
tighten the puller bolts into the threaded holes. (3) Turn center bolt clockwise with 19 mm (3/4
inch) socket until front plate is loosened. (4) Remove shaft key by lightly tapping it loose
with a slot screwdriver and hammer (Fig. 3). (5) Remove the external front housing snap ring
by using spread type snap ring pliers (Fig. 4).
