Default A/C Clutch Replacement ?

alright...

ac clutch bearing has been squeeling long enough.

can the bearing be changed...or the clutch...or have to swap the whole compressor?

im no ac mechanic and would love some advice.

im tired of spraying pen oil on it...lol.

do you have ny rebuild shops around?

i know when i got a starter rebuild it cost me 40 bucks, and everything was brand new on it (cept slenoid)

so if you buy the bearing, you could probably get someone to put it in or like 50 bucks or cheaper

IIRC in order to do the bearing or clutch, you have to take it apart anyway. It's not like other styles where you can just change either or.
