OVERVIEW - BELT PULLEY, "Denso" A/C COMPRESSOR, VERSION "1"

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

A/C compressor without A/C Clutch -N25-

NOTE:

If overload protection of pulley triggers, check the A/C compressor for ease of motion before replacing the pulley. If the A/C compressor creates friction, replace it completely.

To remove the belt pulley, it is not always necessary to loosen the A/C compressor from the engine. Refer to A/C COMPRESSOR, REMOVING AND INSTALLING ON BRACKET . However there may be not enough space to remove the belt pulley depending on the engine version. If so, loosen or remove the A/C compressor from the engine or loosen the lock carrier from the vehicle and pull it slightly forward to create enough space (easier to perform depending on the vehicle version). Refer to LOCK CARRIER .

Different versions of the belt pulley (with different diameters) may be installed, depending on A/C compressor construction type and engine version. Refer to the Parts Information.

As a replacement part, the belt pulley with the drive plate and the cap is available under one part number. The belt pulley and the drive plate are held together with one bolt (when the bolt is no longer needed, dispose of it). When the bolt was manufactured, a predetermined amount of a specific grease was applied to the threads in the drive plate; this amount is sufficient for bolting the drive plate to the compressor one time (a drive plate, which has been removed, cannot be reused). Refer to the Parts Information.

- The overload protection takes over when the torque is excessive (for example, if the A/C compressor runs with resistance) and the belt pulley runs freely without driving the A/C compressor.
- With rubber elements for decoupling belt pulley from A/C compressor input, dampens rations and noise
- For installation, lightly coat rubber elements, for example with tire mounting paste or a soap solution (as a lubricant)
