4. Pull the A/C clutch and shims from the A/C compressor shaft. If the A/C compressor clutch disc and hub assembly cannot be removed, screw
an 8 mm bolt into the clutch pulley hub to force the A/C compressor clutch from the shaft.
5. Start by placing the nominal thickness shim on the end of the splined shaft and slide the A/C compressor clutch disc and hub assembly onto the
end of the A/C compressor shaft.
6. Install the clutch bolt into the end of the compressor shaft. Use Spanner Wrench T70P-4067-A (or Compressor Clutch Holding Tool
T94P-19703-AA) to hold the A/C clutch disc and hub assembly in position while tightening the clutch bolt. Tighten the A/C clutch bolt to
11-14 Nm (8-10 lb-ft).
CAUTION: Do not use air tools to tighten the bolt.
7. Recheck A/C clutch air gap between clutch disc and pulley mating surfaces with a feeler gauge. The air gap should be between 0.35 and 0.85
mm (0.014 and 0.033 inch). Check at three locations equally spaced around the pulley.
8. If A/C clutch air gap is not within specification, repeat Steps 3 through 7. Install the correct shim to achieve the recommended air gap.
