Yep, the link pretty much covers it. In case you didn't know, you don't need to pull the compressor to replace the clutch.

Did you fix your clutch maybe that is what is wrong with mine.

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.

I'm stuck! 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.

Well, I had about 25 minutes of how too with pics attached. Clicked "OK" and got some stupid error message that the page cannot be displayed. What a crock!
Oh well, I'll try again later.
Here is my other Ford

The coil is a tight fit on the shaft. Age just adds to the fun. it may need a little coaxing from a couple of screw drivers or small pry bars. Sometimes a puller with small "J" hook jaws works well. Don't forget to gauge your existing shims for proper re-install clearance. This will ball park you for the new ones for proper clearance between the clutch face and pulley. I try to stay between .015 & .030 thousands. Good luck
