Thread: AC Clutch Disc Wrench?

Anyone know where I can pick up a clutch disc wrench for my AC Compressor? My clutch disc basically froze and the pulley is totally fucked, wana pop it off and see whats going on without disconnecting the lines in case some how it was still ok....even tho the freon smell in the vents im sure was a dead giveaway it prob leaked out lol....

Would this one work?

Cool thanks for the links. My ac pulley bearing has been making noise. I want to change it out.

Edit: stupid autocorrect

So I rented the AC compressor repair kit from advanced and all it really has is tool to pull the clutch disc from the pulley but I'm doing the repair with the compressor on the car and no room to fit it sooooo heres what I found. Advanced has a $20 wrench you can use to hold the disc so it doesn't turn while you try to remove the nut. I however just used a pair of angled pliers. Then because the rental tool doesn't fit I hammered flat head screw drivers in between the disc and pulley to push them apart. Gradually increasing the side of the driver as it pushed apart. I'm going to be doing a quick write up soon as I put it all back together.

Very good heads up! I was hoping to do it while on the car too.

Here's my old bearing lol

Haha wow that one just fell apart

hey speedricer, I'm doing the clutch pulley bearing tomorrow. Do you have any other tips from when you did it other than the screwdriver trick and a good pair of angle pliers?

Heres a little write up i did. Advanced auto actually sells the tool if your angled pliers dont work. Its called a Spanner Wrench, but its like $20. You can rent the loan tool to remove the clutch if you have it off the car, otherwise you'll need to do the screw driver wedge thing i did to get the clutch to separate. Its pretty solid but start small and work your way up so you dont bend it or anything. When you remove the clutch watch you dont loose the little shims in the clutch shaft (its for spacing the clutch from the pulley).. pulley is just held in place by a snap ring and you should be able to knock it right off. Then remove the snap ring "behind it" that holds the bearing in place before you press it out. Its actually pretty easy. Some clutches I noticed have a gap in the splindles so you cant put it on wrong, but i noticed (in the B13s case) it does not have a notch or gap, so I imagine it just slide back on the spindle any way. You'll prob have to love tap the pulley off and back on when you change the bearing so have a rubber mallet handy

nice write up! thanks!
