-- Remove the closure cap -A-.
-- Hold the A/C compressor input shaft -B- with a commercially available Allen wrench (7 mm) and turn the drive plate -C- together with the pulley -E- in the direction of the -arrow-.
TIP
The torque to drive the A/C compressor is transferred to the drive plate -C- via the threaded connection.
If, when operating the A/C compressor, the drive plate -C- was attached to the A/C compressor shaft so tightly that it can no longer be loosened (the 7 mm hex fitting -B- cannot transfer the necessary torque), the A/C compressor must be replaced.
-- Remove drive plate -C-.
-- Remove the circlip -A-.
-- Remove the belt pulley -B-.
