+Pulley removal
Position the center pulley puller on the end of the drive shaft,
and remove the pulley assembly using any commercially avail-
able pulley puller.
To prevent the pulley groove from being deformed, the
puller claws should be positioned onto the edge of the
pulley assembly.

INSPECTIONNLHA0213Clutch DiscNLHA0213S01If the contact surface shows signs of damage due to excessive
heat, replace clutch disc and pulley.
PulleyNLHA0213S02Check the appearance of the pulley assembly. If the contact sur-
face of pulley shows signs of excessive grooving, replace clutch
disc and pulley. The contact surfaces of the pulley assembly should
be cleaned with a suitable solvent before reinstallation.
CoilNLHA0213S03Check coil for loose connection or cracked insulation.

INSTALLATIONNLHA0214+Install the field coil.
Be sure to align the coil’s pin with the hole in the com-
pressor’s front head.
+Install the field coil harness clip using a screwdriver.

+Using the holder to prevent clutch disc rotation, tighten the bolt
to 14 N·m (1.4 kg-m, 10 ft-lb) torque.
After tightening the bolt, check that the pulley rotates
smoothly.
RHA087E
+Check clearance around the entire periphery of clutch disc.
Disc-to-pulley clearance:
0.3 - 0.6 mm (0.012 - 0.024 in)
If the specified clearance is not obtained, replace adjusting
spacer and readjust.
Break-in OperationNLHA0214S01When replacing compressor clutch assembly, always carry out the
break-in operation. This is done by engaging and disengaging the
clutch about thirty times. Break-in operation raises the level of
transmitted torque.

CHECKING REFRIGERANT LEAKS=NLHA0168Preliminary CheckNLHA0168S01Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses,
and components for signs of A/C lubricant leakage, damage and
corrosion. Take note of the areas with A/C lubricant leakage to
allow extra time in these areas with electronic leak detector.
SHA705EB
Precautions for Handling Leak DetectorNLHA0168S02When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detec-
tor or equivalent. Ensure that the instrument is calibrated and set
properly per the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak
detector properly, read the operating instructions and perform any
specified maintenance.
Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C
components, for example, anti-freeze, windshield washer
fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak
detector. Make sure the surfaces to be checked are clean.
Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air. Do not allow
the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance.
This can also cause false readings and may damage the detec-
tor.
SHA707EA
1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point
to be checked.

2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.
