Default Compressor Clutch

Hi guys, I'm just curious if the compressor clutch from caravan without with rear ac would still fit a caravan with rear ac.

MY compressor clutch is completely broken but I'm pretty sure the compressor is still good so I want to replace the clutch but can only find entire compressors at the wreckers for the vans without rear ac.

So I just wanted to grab one an use the clutch to fix my van.

is there any trick to removing the center piece of the clutch after you remove the bolt?

I picked up a used compressor with a still good clutch on it for $20 and I want to take it off to see if my compressor is still good (it should be, it still spins fine) but I can't get the middle piece out and I don't want to damage the rubber holding it together.

Just got it fixed
I guess you just have to hammer the clucth plate for a while until it loosens up then it'll mostly pull off with ease.

I replaced my clutch plate and got the ac back in operation for $20 because I went to the wreckers to pickup a compressor just for the clutch (they didn't have one with rear AC) which would've been $100, but they had a ****ty one with a siezed pully for $20 and it had a clutch plate that was in decent shape.
