Cooled off a bit today so got more done.
Slammed the water pump in. Interestingly, this Mopar Performance pump is *identical* to the Gates pump we use on 4643. Guess I won't spend money on this again..
While I was working on something, my elbow brushed the AC pulley and spun it. It made shockingly bad noises. Its been engaging just fine, but something is not right.
A new Mopar clutch cost about the same as a rebuilt compressor, but this way i don't have to break and recharge the system, and I figure my 100K miles compressor is probably in better shape than any rebuilt unit.
Remove the nut over the clutch.
Gently pry the clutch up with a screwdriver or two.
Under the clutch nut is a shim, don't lose track of it.
Remove the C-Clip holding the clutch in.
Two arm puller to pull the clutch pully off. Comes off pretty easy.
Another c-clip to remove the stator.
Unbolt the wiring harness. It also has the ground attached.
Unplug the harness behind the compressor.
All stripped down.
