5. Reassemble the clutch in the reverse order of disassembly, and note these items:
-
When replacing the field coil, check that the new coil has the correct resistance See: Testing and Inspection
-
Install the field coil with the wire side facing down, and align the boss on the field coil with the hole in the A/C compressor.
-
Clean the rotor pulley and A/C compressor sliding surfaces with contact cleaner or other non-petroleum solvent.
-
Install new snap rings, note the installation direction, and make sure they are fully seated in the groove.
-
Make sure that the rotor pulley turns smoothly after it's reassembled.
-
Route and clamp the wires properly to prevent damage by the rotor pulley.
6. Cycle the A/C clutch approximately 20 times by running the engine at 1,500-2,000 rpm and setting the climate control temperature to Lo with the
A/C button ON. This procedure seats the clutch friction surfaces, and increases clutch torque capacity.
