Clutch Coil & Bearing: Installation
- To install, reverse removal procedure. Align clutch coil pin with hole in front head of compressor and install clutch coil. Tighten clutch coil screws to 44 INCH lbs. (5 N.m). Using pulley installer and drive handle, tap pulley onto compressor. On all models, install new snap ring.
- On DKV-14D compressor, tighten clutch plate bolt to 113 INCH lbs. (13 N.m) Using feeler gauge, ensure air gap between clutch plate and pulley is 0.012-0.024" (0.30-0.60 mm). If air gap is incorrect, add or remove shim(s) as necessary.
NOTE:
On Kia, shaft seal servicing procedure is not available from manufacturer.
- Ensure clutch disc and pulley contact surfaces are clean and free of excessive grooving and/or excessive heat damage. Check clutch coil for loose connection or cracked insulation. Replace components as necessary. Replace clutch disc and pulley assembly as a set.
- Align pin in clutch coil with hole in front head of compressor. Ensure coil lead is installed in original position. Install and tighten coil screws. Press pulley onto compressor using Pulley Installer (J-39024) and a hand press. Install pulley snap ring and adjustment shim(s).
- Install clutch disc and tighten center bolt to 9-11 ft. lbs. (11-15 N.m). Ensure pulley rotates freely. Using a feeler gauge, ensure air gap between clutch disc and pulley is 0.012-0.024" (0.30-0.61 mm). If air gap is not as specified, add or remove shim(s) as necessary.
- Install compressor and any other components. Evacuate and charge A/C system. Operate A/C system and break-in clutch disc and pulley assembly by engaging and disengaging clutch 30 times during engine operation.
