Clutch Assembly: Installation

  1. Install clutch coil so pin in back of coil aligns with hole in front compressor housing. Connect clutch coil and diode lead. Install snap ring with bevel side facing outward. Ensure snap ring is properly seated in groove. Install rotor and pulley assembly. Install shims and snap ring. Install clutch hub.
  2. Install dial indicator at front of clutch hub to measure clutch hub air gap. Using battery voltage, energize clutch coil. Proper air gap is 0.014-0.026" (0.35-0.65 mm). Add or remove shims to obtain correct air gap. Install compressor shaft bolt. Tighten compressor shaft bolt to 11-15 ft. lbs. (15-20 N.m).
  3. After completing compressor clutch installation, start engine. Set A/C-heater control to recirculated air mode and high blower motor speed. Set engine speed to 1500-2000 RPM. Cycle compressor on for 5 seconds and off for 5 seconds, about 20 times to burnish or break-in clutch friction surfaces.
