I noticed a different sound under the hood and investigated. It goes away when the AC engages.

I took tension off the belt and can wobble the AC compressor pulley a little. So I guess its the clutch/pulley bearing?

Is this a press-on thing? Can that bearing be swapped out easily enough perhaps with a puller.

The AC cools fine.

Thanks!

 

Self reply here. I found a U-Tube video on the Denso compressor found in mini vans and some Honda's.

Not sure if Tube vid links are allowed here so just remove the dashes between the you & tube.

Found the bearing on eBay, NSK OE quality. Seller name "allforauto".


Thanks
