The A/C compressor clutch bit the dust on my wife's 2003 Grand Caravan today. It was 114 here in Phoenix and she wasn't amused. All she said when I got home was, "Fix it now!". :-)
Called around to all the parts stores (NAPA was closed) and no one carries it. Is this not a serviceable item? Has a small bolt in the center and looks like it could be pulled as with any other.
Thanks.

I think the 70K miles eliminates me as a candidate. Although it's a 2003, she has ~170K miles on it. She's a Realtor and does a ton of driving. She drove her last two vans past the quarter million mile mark.
I've been unable to find a clutch here in the Phoenix area. NAPA can get one but have to order it and costs ~$180. Dealer said $200 for pulley and $70 for could. Advance Auto back east sells them for $128 (complete replacement clutch) but says their supplier is out of clutches and don't know when they'll be getting any more. Man - that's just nuts! It's like I'm cornered into buying a new complete compressor assy just because no one stocks the clutch (or at a reasonable price).
