COMPRESSOR SERVICE
DESCRIPTION
The A/C system uses a Sanden SD7H15 compres-
sor. The compressor is a 7 piston design.
The clutch used on the compressor consists of 3 ba-
sic components: the pulley and bearing hub, clutch
plate and field coil (Fig. 1). The pulley and field coil
are attached to the front of the compressor with ta-
pered snap rings. The compressor has a splined shaft
and the clutch plate is retained on the shaft with a
self-locking nut.

REVIEW WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS IN
THIS GROUP BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH
THIS PROCEDURE.
REMOVAL
(1) Recover refrigerant from A/C system.
(2) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(3) Disconnect the clutch lead wire.
(4) Remove the discharge and suction lines from
the compressor. Plug or tape all the openings.
(5) Remove the serpentine drive belt (refer to
Group 7, Cooling System for the proper procedure).
(6) Remove the bolts and lift the compressor from
the mounting bracket (Figs. 2 and 3).
INSTALLATION
If a replacement compressor is being in-
stalled; check the oil level. Add or subtract oil
as necessary and install the magnetic clutch on
the compressor.
(1) If the mounting bracket was removed, install
the bracket to the block. Tighten the mounting bolts
to 27 Nzm (20 ft. lbs.) torque.
(2) Install the compressor on the mounting
bracket. Tighten the bolts to 27 Nzm (20 ft. lbs.)
torque.(3) Install the serpentine drive belt (refer to Group
7, Cooling System for the proper procedure).
(4) Tighten the serpentine drive belt to the speci-
fied tension.
²New belt tensionÐ800-900 N (180-200 lb-f).
²Used belt tensionÐ623-712 N (140-160 lb-f).
(5) Remove the tape or plastic plugs from all the
suction and discharge openings and install lines on
the compressor.
(6) Connect the clutch lead wire.
(7) Connect negative cable to battery.
(8) Evacuate, charge and test the system for leaks.

COMPRESSOR CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
The compressor clutch can be serviced in the vehi-
cle.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the serpentine drive belt (refer to
Group 7, Cooling System for the proper procedure).
(2) Remove compressor mounting bolts and lift the
compressor from the mounting bracket. Support the
compressor to work on clutch.
(3) Insert the 2 pins of spanner C-4489 into holes
of the clutch plate. Hold clutch plate stationary and
remove hex nut (Fig. 4).
(4) Remove clutch plate with puller 6461 (Fig. 5).
(5) Remove key and clutch shims.
(6) Remove the external front housing snap ring
with snap ring pliers (Fig. 6).
(7) Install lip of rotor puller 6141-1 into the snap
ring groove exposed in the previous step and install
shaft protector 6141-2 (Fig. 7).(8) Install puller 6461 and through bolts into the
jaws finger tight (Fig. 8). Turn puller center bolt
clockwise until rotor pulley is free.

(9) Remove the screw and retainer from coil lead
wire on compressor front housing (Fig. 9).
(10) Remove snap ring from compressor hub and
remove field coil (Fig. 10).INSTALLATION
(1) Install field coil and snap ring.
(2) Install coil harness retaining clip on compres-
sor and tighten the retaining screw.
(3) Align rotor assembly squarely on the front
housing hub.
(4) Install pulley bearing assembly with Installer
6871 (Fig. 11).
Thread Installer on shaft then turn nut until pul-
ley assembly is seated.
(5) Install external front housing snap ring with
spread type snap ring pliers.
(6) Install key and original clutch shims on com-
pressor shaft.
(7) Install clutch plate with driver 6463 (Fig. 12).
Install shaft nut and tighten to 14.4 Nzm (10.5 ft.
lbs.) torque.

(8) Check air gap with feeler gauge (Fig. 13). If the
air gap does not meet the specification add or sub-
tract shims as required. The specification is 0.41-0.79
mm (0.016-0.031 inch). If air gap is not consistent
around the circumference, lightly pry up at the min-
imum variations. Lightly tap down at points of max-
imum variation.
The air gap is determined by the spacer
shims. When installing the original or a new
clutch assembly, try the original shims first.
When installing a new clutch onto a compressor
that previously did not have a clutch, use 0.040,
0.020, and 0.005 shims from the clutch accessory
sack.

DESCRIPTION
The Climate Control System combines air condi-
tioning, heating and ventilating capabilities for vehi-
cles equipped with air conditioning. Vehicles without
air conditioning perform heating and ventilating
functions without the air conditioning evaporator.
Both systems consist basically of 2 parts:
²Blower and Air Inlet Assembly
²Heater Core and Air Distribution Assembly
These unit may be removed separately from under
the instrument panel for service.
HEATER AND A/C CONTROL REPLACEMENT
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(2) Remove the instrument panel bezel attaching
screws and remove the instrument panel bezel (Fig.
1). Bezel is snap fit at locations shown.(3) Remove the radio attaching screws (Fig. 2).
(4) Disconnect the radio electrical connector,
ground lead and antenna lead (Fig. 3).
