Default OT- ford truck A/C clutch question...


wrote in message
oups.com...
Hi all,
Anybody here ever replace the A/C compressor clutch on a ford Truck?
This is a 1990 F150, 5.0. I am getting a loud-ish curnchy grinding
bearing noise that I think is comming from said clutch. I am 90%
sure that is the culprit and will confirm that, if it ever stops
raining here in NE Mass. Any tricks (ie. special tools, hints,
tips, etc.)I ought to know about before I dive in on this one?

It always helps when i tap the collective mind here at RCM before
getting in too deep. When ever I don't, I end up doing so
mid-project to figure out how to finish.

I appreciate for any ideas!

I think old age has decreased my automotive tools to the Yellow Pages,
especially AC problems. Those clutches are a bitch to get off and you need
the tools. Don't get one from a bone yard, get a new one.
