Tools Required
* J 8433-1 Puller Crossbar
* J 8433-3 Forcing Screw
* J 33024 Clutch Coil Installer Adapter
* J 42428 Compressor Holding Fixture




1. Place the clutch coil assembly on the compressor housing with the terminals positioned at the marked location.
2. Place the J 33024 (1) over the internal opening of the clutch coil housing and align the J 33024 (1) with the compressor housing.




3. Center the J 8433-1 (4) in the countersunk center hole of the J 33024 (3). Install the J 42428 (2) through-bolts and the washers through the crossbar slots. Thread them into the holding fixture to the full thickness of the holding fixture.

Important: Be sure the clutch coil and the installer stay in-line during installation.

4. Turn the J 8433-3 (1), or use a suitable vise, to force the clutch coil onto the compressor housing.




5. When the clutch coil is fully seated on the compressor housing, use a 3 mm (1/8 inch) diameter drift punch and stake the housing at 3 places, 120 Degree apart, to ensure that the clutch coil will remain in position. Stake point size should be only one-half the area of the punch tip and approximately 0.28-0.35 mm (0.01-0.015 in) deep.
