Fig. 21: A/C Compressor Armature Plate With Torque Specifications
- Remove the center bolt (A) while holding the armature plate (B) with a
commercially available A/C
clutch holder (C).
- Remove the armature plate (A) and shim(s) (B).

- Remove the pulley (A).
NOTE:
- Do not hammer or pry on the pulley to remove it. Using a hammer damages
the A/C
compressor. If the pulley is difficult to remove, use a commercially
available pulley
removing tool. Make sure the jaws of the removing tool engage the back face
of the
pulley, not the pulley grooves.
- Be careful not to damage the pulley or the A/C compressor.
3. A/C Compressor Field Coil - Remove

- Remove the field coil ground terminal (A), and the bracket (B).
- Remove the snap ring (C) with snap ring pliers.
- Remove the field coil (D). Be careful not to damage the field coil or
the A/C
compressor.
NOTE: Inspect the friction surfaces and the compressor shaft hub for excess
oil. If
excess oil is present, and it is not from the engine or other system, then the
compressor
shaft seal is leaking. Replace the A/C compressor.
4. All Removed Parts - Install
- Install the parts in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- When replacing the field coil, check that the new coil has the
correct resistance.
- Install the field coil with the wire side facing down, and align the
boss on the field coil with the
hole in the A/C compressor.
- If the clutch surface is oil soaked, check the compressor front seal
for leakage. Installing a new
clutch assembly on a leaking compressor will damage the new clutch
assembly friction
surfaces.
- Clean the pulley and the A/C compressor friction surfaces with
contact cleaner or other non-petroleum
solvent.
- Install new snap rings, note the installation direction, and make
sure they are fully seated in the
grooves.
- Make sure that the pulley turns smoothly after it is reassembled.
- Route and clamp the wires properly to prevent damage by the pulley.
- When removing the armature plate, place a trial stack of shims, 1mm
total thickness, on the A/C
compressor shaft. Install the pressure plate, and check its clearance.
If the clearance is not
within specifications, add or subtract shims as needed.
- After reinstallation, cycle the A/C compressor clutch approximately
20 times by running the
engine at 1, 500-2, 000 RPM and setting the A/C system to MAX COOL. This
procedure seats
the clutch sliding surfaces, and increases clutch torque capacity.
