First, you should unhook and isolate the negative
Battery Cable before serving the A/C compressor clutch. Take out the hose leading to the air intake and the air cleaner housing and next, the
Radiator fan and the shroud assembly. After that, remove the accessory drive belt. Remove the engine wire harness from the top connector on the A/C compressor's clutch field coil. You may need to remove the A/C compressor to access the compressor shaft bolt or pulley and field coil snap rings, yet the refrigerant system can be properly charged while doing so. Carefully disconnect the compressor clutch field coil connector and wire lead from the bracket holding the original ones. Before removing the compressor shaft bolt use a band-type oil filter wrench or strap wrench to keep the clutch plate stable. Always keep the clutch plate away from the pulley and bearing assembly to ensure it isn't damaged. Watch out not to drop any clutch shim(s) while detaching the clutch plate, because you can reuse them when installing it. By lightly tapping the clutch plate using a plastic mallet, the splines getting in the way on the compressor shaft will be released, allowing the clutch plate and shim(s) to be removed. Remove the snap ring on the front of the A/C compressor using A/C Snap Ring Pliers 9764 or the same tool, after which remove the pulley and bearing assembly. Use your pliers again to take out the snap ring that fastens the clutch field coil to the front of the compressor and then remove the field coil.
