MAGNETIC CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY [AJ (3.0L Duratec)]

Disassembly

1. Remove the A/C compressor. (See A/C COMPRESSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [AJ (3.0L Duratec)].)

2. When removing the bolt, hold the pressure plate in place as shown in the figure.

3. Remove the pressure plate and adjustment shim.

(1) Thread an 8\1.25 mm {0.31\0.05 in} bolt into magnetic clutch to force it from the compressor shaft.

(2) Lift the pressure plate and adjustment shim from the compressor shaft.

4. Remove the snap ring.

5. Remove the A/C compressor pulley using the SST.

6. Remove the stator using the SST.
