I came across this video after hours of research and I’m going to attempt to fix my compressor tomorrow, I hope this works!! Thank you so much for the helpful information!! Update: I ended up stripping the bolt and now I’m stuck at a standstill
Hello, your t55 torque you used to back the tensioner should be a T60, also the bolt in the middle of your a/c compressor is a 9/32 socket. You need to turn it clock wise while holding the pulley with out turning. make sure your 9/32 socket is a thin wall and back it off until the a/c cover comes off! DON'T TURN NOR FORCE THE CAP COUNTER CLOCK WISE LIKE STATED ON THIS VIDEO, just turn the center bolt clock wise, the cap comes off! This cap, if broken no one locally will have it, nor any of the car part chains. only On-line. Good luck.
My 10 year old son did a pretty good job editing this video, but you will find that he has one of the frames out of order. After I take off the retaining clip and the pulley, he goes back to a shot where the pulley is still on the car. Hopefully it doesn’t cause anyone to stop and scratch their head...sorry
Can't seem to screw in the clutch plate.the bushing s wont let it thread all the way out.? .. I got now I took the bushings off the pully and put them on the clutch plate. Thanks for the help. Ps. Its easier to just buy the pulley on ebay. $ 23.00
Out of interest what is the filter wrench you're using. I tediously made up a tool to lock the pulley whilst attempting to turn the nut and ended up snapping my socket bit. So next plan is to get a strap wrench of some kind and 3/8 7 mm bit.
A couple of things to do b4 actually reaching the ac compressor. But all Ina nut shell after I did take mine out. It inspired me to do everything but electrical work. It is easy. I took a trip to NJ and while there I noticed some knocking. And discovered ac pully wobbling. Thought I lost my Car, man. Never the less I found a used one. Got rid of the ac coolant. Drained the radiator.took a total of 5 nuts screws lose.
@@patrickcarr8942was your ac still blowing cold? i have the same problem after replacing the belt . Ac compressor pulley is wobbling and making a loud knocking noise. i was thinking of only replacing the pulley & bearings if the compressor was still okay and blowing cold.

Thanks for this! I'm having to tackle this job

Thank you because my 7mm didn’t fit

Thank you sooo much! I think I am having the same issue.. Now I can fix this.
I hate when y’all don’t show EVERY DETAIL NOT SCREEN CUTS OUT AS YOU GET THINGS OFF OR ON THEN SHOWING AFTERWARDS !!!! THIS DOESNT HELP US AT ALL !!
Awesome fix👍
hey. what was the tool to hold the pulley?

I believe my issue is similar. Was the bad bearing only making noise while the ac was on or both on and off?
Both on and off
Where did you get the this wall 9/32 from?

Why not just leave the belt on first
any idea what to do when that little 7mm nut is too worn and wont take a socket??
I notice when I press the link it says item doesn't fit my car was it the same for you? I have 2006 bmw 530i
I have a 06 BMW 525XI, the part number is the same correct?
Do you have any advise for changing the actual ac compressor
Thanks
