Compressor Clutch: Service and Repair

DISASSEMBLY OF MAGNETIC CLUTCH

1. REMOVE PRESSURE PLATE

(a) Using a socket and SST, remove the shaft nut. SST 07112-76060

Tool Installation:

(b) Install SST to the pressure plate. SST 07112-66040

(d) Remove the shims from the shaft.

2. REMOVE ROTOR

Removing Snap Ring:

(a) Using SST, remove the snap ring. SST 07114-84020

Removing Rotor:

(b) Using a plastic hammer, tap the rotor off the shaft.

NOTICE: Be Careful not to damage the pulley when tapping on the rotor.

3. REMOVE STATOR

Disconnecting Wires:

(a) Disconnect the stator lead wires from the compressor housing.

(b) Using SST, remove the snap ring. SST 07114-84020

Removing Stator:

(a) Install the stator on the compressor.
(b) Using SST, install the new snap ring. SST 07114-84020

NOTICE: The snap ring should be installed so that its beveled side faces up.

Disconnecting Wires:

Removing Snap Ring:

(a) Install the rotor on the compressor shaft.
(b) Using SST, install the new snap ring. SST 07114-84020

NOTICE: The snap ring should be installed so that its beveled side faces up.

3. INSTALL PRESSURE PLATE

(a) Adjust the clearance between the pressure plate and rotor by putting shims on the compressor shaft.

Standard clearance: 0.5 ± 0.15 mm (0.020 ± 0.0059 in.)

If the clearance is not within tolerance, change the number of shims to obtain the standard clearance.

(b) Using SST and torque wrench, install the shaft nut. SST 07112-76060

Torque: 14 N.m (140 kgf.cm, 10 ft.lbf)

4. INSPECT CLEARANCE OF MAGNETIC CLUTCH
(a) Set the dial-gauge to the pressure plate of the magnetic clutch.
(b) Connect the magnetic clutch lead wire to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
(c) Check the clearance between the pressure plate and rotor, when connect the negative (-) terminal of the battery.

Standard clearance: 0.5 ± 0.15 m (0.020 ± 0.0059 in.)

If the clearance is not within standard clearance adjust the clearance using shims to obtain the standard clearance.
