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 pulley and bearing assembly to the A/C compressor. The bevel side of the snap ring must face
outward.
5. Using snap ring pliers (Special Tool C-4574 or equivalent) (2), install the external snap ring (1) that secures the pulley and bearing assembly (3) to
the front cover of the A/C compressor. Be certain that the snap ring is fully and properly seated in the groove.
6. If the original clutch plate (2) and pulley and bearing assembly are to be reused, reinstall the original shim(s) (3) on the compressor shaft (1)
against the shoulder. If a new clutch plate and/or pulley and bearing assembly are being used, install a trial stack of shims 2.54 mm (0.010 in.)
thick on the compressor shaft against the shoulder.
