Is it possible to change the clutch on an automobile a/c compressor without removing the refrigerant?

YES IT IS BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE MAKE, MODEL AND THE YEAR.



YOU WILL ALSO NEED MANY SPECIAL TOOLS TO DO THIS TYPE OF JOB.



ONCE YOU HAVE THE OLD ONE OFF AND ARE READY TO INSTALL THE NEW ONE YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SHAFT THAT THE PULLEY IS ON IS NOT WORN OUT AND ALSO YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU SHIM THE CLUTCH HUB CORRECTLY.

yes it is.......remove the bolt holding the clutch plate on, its in the center, then look for the snap ring on the outside, not inside, remove it and then the pulley/bearing assy will come right off.....well most of the time
