Default Need to find a part (AC Clutch magnet)

Like the Title says, my magnet in my AC clutch no longer pulls the clutch in.

In addition to that it made a grinding noise and has some odd wear patters on the outside edge of it.



Anyone know where I can get JUST the electromagnet (new) or an entire new clutch assembly?

The AC system seems to work fine, compressor (when spun manually) works and is not seized, system is fully charged.

Which is why I don't want/won't buy a WHOLE new compressor just because of a magnet wearing out....

Oh...and anyone know if there is a tutorial to put this thing back together...

Here's the service guide for a Sanden.

Does it just quit engaging after it gets warm? Try measuring the air gap of the clutch rotor. Take a washer out if need be.
