Whenever the ac is turned on in our 2001 honda civic is starts screaming like a banchee and is not a good time. So while I was changing linkage on it (I really hate linkages in the northeast, for the love of god, the allen key is not the answer, so I just grind them off). Anyway, I figured I would check it out and see what the issue with the ac screaming is while i had it in the shop.
The AC clutch is loose, like rattling loose, from what I gather that is a know issue on these.
It has a new belt on the ac, alt belt and and new power steering belt and new (used) power steering compressor.I took off the clutch and it looks like the splins on the clutch are wearing out, so I figure that needs replaced.
I am trying to take off the pulley. I took out the snap ring just fine but the pulley won’t come off. Do I need a puller? I don’t want to start pulling on something I don’t need too.the bearing doesn’t sound too bad so I am not sure I even need to pull the pulley.
I just wanted some input here as I have it down this far.
should I buy a kit which as a new bearing for the pulley (not a new pulley) and a new clutch. http://tinyurl.com/kfwukfz
should I just get the whole kit with the new pulley. http://tinyurl.com/ohqzdnt
or what I am thinking, going to the pic-a-part and just pull the clutch off a junked honda civic if it is not loose and buy the bearing off amazon for 40 bucks, seeing I am think deep, I am thinking of just changing the bearing, but I don’t think I need a new pulley.we plan on keeping this car another year or 2 max.
Just know there are mechanics here that would know what I really need to do with this. Here are a few pics. Also, how do I get this pulley off? I don’t want to damage a working compressor.
thanks much
