Re: Eagle A/C clutch

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IIRC, What you will find is that it will take a threaded puller that goes into the center of the clutch to pull it. Look at the cenetr area of the clutch cover and if it is threaded it will take that style puller. Some of the clutches are adjustable by tightening the center bolt if it is slipping. Others by shims that the your remove or add to adjust clearance.
  The only real reason to replace a clutch is if it is cracked, broken or does not work at all.

>What does it take to replace the A/C clutch on an 86 Eagle? Are they pressed onto the compressor requiring special tools to remove/install them? I had checked around locally for a replacement clutch and the cheapest one I found was over $200 and would take 2 to 3 weeks to get it. IAutozone just opened a store here so I checked with them sunday and they quoted me $98 and said they could have it in 3 days. So, I want to try to get the A/C fixed before next summer. Thanks.
