1. Align the dowel pin on the back of the clutch field coil (2) with the hole in the compressor front cover (3) and position the clutch field coil onto
the A/C compressor. Be certain that the clutch coil wire harness is properly oriented and routed so that it is not pinched between the compressor
front cover and the clutch field coil.
CAUTION: The snap ring must be fully and properly seated in the groove or it will vibrate out, resulting in a clutch failure and severe damage to
the A/C compressor.
NOTE: A new snap ring must be used to secure the clutch field coil to the A/C compressor. The bevel side of the snap ring must face outward
and both snap ring eyelets must be oriented to the right or to the left of the clutch field coil dowel pin location on the A/C compressor.
2. Using snap ring pliers (Special Tool C-4574 or equivalent) (1), install the external snap ring (4) that secures the clutch field coil to the front cover
of the A/C compressor. Be certain that the snap ring is fully and properly seated in the groove and oriented correctly
3. Install the screw that secures the clutch field coil wire harness connector bracket and ground clip to the top of the compressor housing. Tighten the
screw securely.
CAUTION: When installing the pulley and bearing assembly, DO NOT mar the friction surfaces of the pulley or premature failure of the clutch
will result.
4. Install the pulley and bearing assembly (1) onto the front cover of the A/C compressor. If necessary, tap the pulley gently with a block of wood (2)
