Clutch Rotor and/or Bearing Install (V5 Compressor)

Special Tools
* J 33017 Pulley Rotor and Bearing Assembly Installer
* J 33019 Bearing Staking Guide/Bearing Staking Pin
* J 33023-A Puller Pilot
* J 42428 Compressor Holding Fixture
* J 6083 Snap Ring Pliers
* J 8092 Driver Handle
* J 8433-1 Puller Crossbar

Caution: Do not support the rotor by resting the pulley rim on a flat surface during the bearing installation or the rotor face could be damaged.

1. Invert the pulley rotor and place it on a support block to fully support the rotor hub during bearing installation.
2. Align the new bearing squarely in the pulley bore. Use the J 9481-A (2) and the J 8092 (1), drive the bearing fully into the pulley bore.




3. Place the J 33019 (1) and the J 33019 (2) in the rotor hub core. Shift the rotor and bearing assembly on the block to give full support to the hub under the staking pin location. A heavy-duty rubber band may be used to hold the staking tool pin in the guide. The pin should be properly positioned in the guide after each impact on the pin.




4. Strike the pin with a hammer until a metal stake, similar to the original, is formed down to, but not touching, the bearing. The metal stake should not contact the outer race of the bearing to avoid the possibility of distorting the outer race. Stake in 3 places 120° apart.




5. With the compressor mounted to the J 42428 (3), position the rotor and the bearing assembly on the compressor housing.
6. Position the J 33017 (4) and the J 33023-A (2) directly over the inner race of the bearing.
7. Position the J 8433-1 (5) center forcing bolt on the J 33023-A (2) and assemble the 2 through-bolts and the washers through the J 8433-1 (5) slots. Thread them into the J 42428 (3). The thread of the through-bolts should engage the full thickness of the fixture.
8. Tighten the center J 8433-3 (1) in the J 8433-1 (5) to force the pulley rotor and the bearing assembly onto the compressor housing.




9. Install the rotor and the bearing assembly retainer ring using the J 6083 (1).
10. Reinstall the clutch drive plate and the hub assembly. Refer to Compressor Clutch Plate/Hub Assembly Install (SP10 Compressor) (Compressor Clutch Plate/Hub Assembly Install (SP10 Compressor))Compressor Clutch Plate/Hub Assembly Install (V5 Compressor) (Compressor Clutch Plate/Hub Assembly Install (V5 Compressor)).
11. Install the compressor. Refer to Air Conditioning Compressor Replacement (Service and Repair).
12. Connect the negative battery cable.
13. Evacuate and recharge the A/C system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging (Service and Repair).
