Thanks. I wasn't sure about having to remove the compressor, but I always try the easy way first. That's just the kinda lazy guy I am. And No, I haven't done it yet. I was waiting until it got really good and hot here in DFW so I can get a good sweat going. I'll do it Saturday and post up how it went. (in reply to Use Common Sense) Post #: 4

I got the clutch plate, pully and bearing off fine, but this thing is kicking my tail! It must come off because there''s a new one in the box with the rest of the assembly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd265/chemoman65/2008_0606clutch0015.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd265/chemoman65/2008_0606clutch0016.jpg (in reply to chemoman) Post #: 6

Clicked "OK" and got some stupid error message that the page cannot be displayed. What a crock! Oh well, I''ll try again later.
