ac clutch disk removal

[paul]

Please someone help out here,..
I have a 199 pathfinder 4×4 LE model with bad ac compressor pulley. I have trouble getting the clutch disk out without a tool that Nissan recommended J-38874. no local store has such a tool
as this one J-38874.

any suggestion?

best regards,
paul

Looks like your options are buy the tool ($250 used on eBay), make your own, or pay a shop to swap the pulley.

I found a tool that works well from amazon and only cost me $11.
However, the shaft diameter from the air compressor is too small and the new bearing fit too loose. do you ever see this happen? do I need a new complete AC unit?
