-- Perform the preparatory work. Refer to PRELIMINARY WORK FOR REPLACING BELT PULLEY .

-- Remove the 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-.
