4. Remove the clutch plate and hub assembly.
5. Remove the clutch rotor and bearing.
6. Mark the clutch coil terminal location on the compressor housing.
7. Install the puller pilot J-33023-A on the compressor housing. Also install the puller crossbar J-8433-1 with the clutch coil puller legs J-33025.
8. Tighten the forcing screw J-8433-3 against the puller pilot J-33023-A to remove the clutch coil.

Assembly Procedure




1. Place the clutch coil assembly on the compressor housing with the terminals positioned at the "marked" location.
2. Place the clutch coil installer adapter J-33024 over the internal opening of the clutch coil housing and align the clutch coil installer adapter J-33024 with the compressor housing.




3. Center the puller crossbar J-8433-1 in the countersunk center hole of the clutch coil installer adapter J-33024. Install the compressor holding fixture J-34992, the through-bolts, and the washers through the crossbar slots. Thread the through-bolts into the holding fixture to the full thickness of the holding fixture.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the clutch coil and the installer stay "in-line" during installation.

4. Turn the forcing screw J-8433-3, or use a suitable vise, to force the clutch coil onto the compressor housing.




5. When the clutch coil is fully seated on the compressor housing, use a 3 mm (1/8 inch) diameter drift punch and stake the housing at three places, each 120 degrees apart, to ensure that the clutch coil will remain in position. Stake point size should be only one-half the area of the punch tip and approximately 0.28 to 0.35 mm (0.010 to 0.015 inch) deep.
6. Install the clutch rotor and bearing assembly.
7. Install the clutch plate and hub assembly.
8. Install the compressor.
9. Connect the negative battery cable.
10. Evacuate and recharge the A/C system.
