Replacement
lf the compressor is marginally operable. run the
engine at idie speed, and let the air conditioner
work for a few minutes. then shut the engine off.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/recycling/
charging station (see page 22-59).
Disconnect the condenser fan connector. Remove
the compressor clutch connector and the wire har-
ness clip from the condenser fan shroud, then dis-
connect the compressor clutch connector. Remove
the mounting bolts and the condenser fan shroud,

Clutch Inspection
Check the plated parts of the armature plate for color
changes, peeling or other damage. lf there is dam-
age, replace the clutch set.
Check the rotor pulley bearing play and drag by rotat-
ing the rotor pulley by hand. Replace the clutch set
with a new one if it is noisy or has excessive play/drag.
Measure the clearance between the rotor pulley and
the armature plate all the way around. lf the clear-
ance is not within specified limits, the armature plate
must be removed and shims added or removed as
required, following the procedure on page 22-66.
Cloarance: 0.5 t 0.15 mm {0.020 t 0.q)6 in)
NOTE: The shims are available in four thicknesses:
0.1 mm. 0.2 mm. 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm
ABMATUBE
ROTOR
. Release the field coil connector from the holder, then
disconnect it. Check the thermal protector for conti-
nuity, lf there is no continuity, replace the thermal
prorecror.
NOTE: The thermal protector will have no continuity
above 251.6 to 262.4"F 1122 to 128"C). When the tem-perature drops below 240.8 to 219.8"F (116 to 104'C),
the thermal protector will have continuity.
Check resistance of the field coil.
Field Coil Resistance: 3.2 i 0.15 ohms at 68"F {20'C)
lf resistance is not within specifications, replace the
field coil.
