Compressor Clutch Coil: Service and Repair

Compressor Components:

CLUTCH FIELD COIL




DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the clutch hub and pulley following the procedure given.
2. Install a shaft protector tool on the nose opening of the compressor.
3. Install the puller on the compressor as shown in the illustration.
Place the tip of the puller forcing screw on the center dimple of the shaft protector and the jaws of the puller around the back side of the field coil.
4. Tighten the forcing screw with a wrench to pull the coil loose from the compressor front head.

NOTE: Do not use air tools.




REASSEMBLY
1. Clean the coil press diameter of the front head to remove any dirt or corrosion.
2. With the compressor in a vertical position (nose up), place the coil in position on the front head of the compressor. Assure that the clutch coil electrical connector is positioned correctly.
3. Place the coil pressing tool in position over the compressor nose and the inner radius of the field coil.
4. Position an eight (8) inch, two jaw puller to the compressor and pressing tool as shown in the illustration. The jaws of the puller should be firmly engaged with the rear side of the compressor front mounts and the forcing screw should be piloted on the center of the pressing tool.
5. Tighten the forcing screw with a wrench by hand until the coil is pressed completely onto the compressor front head. Check to assure that the field coil bottoms against the front head at all points around the coil outer diameter
6. Install the clutch pulley and hub on the compressor as outlined.
