INSPECTION
Examine the friction surfaces of the clutch rotor and the clutch plate for wear. The rotor and clutch plate should be replaced if there is excessive wear
or scoring.
If the friction surfaces are oily, inspect the shaft and nose area of the compressor for oil. Remove the felt from the front cover. If the felt is saturated
with oil, the shaft seal is leaking and the compressor must be replaced.
Check the rotor bearing for roughness or excessive leakage of grease. Replace the rotor and clutch plate, if required.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the clutch field coil and snap ring.
2. Install the screw and retainer on the clutch coil lead wire harness on the compressor front housing. Tighten screw to 2.2 Nm (20 in. lbs.).
3. Align the rotor assembly squarely on the front compressor housing hub.
