Great video! I’m a mechanic and get annoyed with people that act to silly, play to much music or just ramble on about things that don’t apply to the video. This man cut out all the fat and got right to the point. Perfect video in my opinion
I’m an hvac tech and this video is very informative for automotive as the home hvac compressor usually being sealed hermetic,scroll, or rotary and cannot be serviced just replaced so two different worlds
@@Hulknuts78 When the clutch gets burned up does the system get contaminated ? I want to know the likelihood of needing to replace other parts like condenser , dessicant bag . drier ? I've got a 15 Ford Fusion 2.5 L . Clutch looks bad the clutch material is coming out the front
I have a question maybe you can help me can you remove a air conditioner clutch assembly on a 01 Ford Taurus without evacuating the air conditioning system
Hi there! How much does it cost to replace it on nissan maxima 2017! Thanks
Yes ,NO BEATING AROUND THE MULBERRY TREE,STR8 TO THE POINT ,HE IS A PHUCKING GENIUS 🎉
I’ve been researching videos today about to correct my AC on my own, and by far, this has been the best! I appreciate how you modeled via the compressor itself in terms of what was the compressor, the bearing, clutch, etc.
This guy is more real and sincere than so many mechanics out there.
Thank you Sir and thank you TH-cam University.
Thank you for taking the time to film this. EXTREMELY helpful. Bad bearing repair coming up
Thanks for the video. I just changed the bearing on my 2002 Suburban and your video was spot on. A tip if like to forward. On the Suburban the compressor is surrounded by the idler arm, frame and radiator hose which made getting it apart a challenge. When I removed the bolt in the middle of the compressor driver I used an old metal oil filter wrench to hold the compressor driver in place while I turned the bolt. Worked perfectly in the confined space. Thanks again.
Concise. To the point. Easy to understand. One of the best DIY videos I've seen so far. Thanks!
Thanks man. Replaced the clutch plate. With labour all cost me around $17. The guy had to search for a reconditioned one in the junkyard. Now my A/C is working again. Kudos to you sir.
Just buttoning everything up! I had ball bearings pouring out of the old center bearing. I cursed a couple of times, because I did everything with the compressor mounted. Came back upstairs to check about those spacer washers. THANK YOU for taking the time to put this video out...SUBSCRIBED!
I can't figure it out how 740 people dislike a video that's really good and explaining perfectly how a compressor works and how you replace stuff...... very unfair....
Must have been morons who ruined their compressor and need a new one now... 😆
Excellent video! Straightforward, well-organized and the video quality is GREAT! Much appreciated for this and for your directing us to the more detailed videos on the right.
I have watched countless repair videos and I have got to say, this might be the only clear and concise video, on any car repair I've ever seen, thanks
Great information for DIYrs. Learnt a lot of this when repairing customers A/C systems. The Brown dust around the clutch is always a good indication of a failing bearing. I have also found the spacer will need to be thinner or take out a shim or two if they are fitted, this compensates for the wear on the pulley and hub faces in use. always ensure the airgap is back within spec as to greater gap can cause non-engagement or worse overheating of the magnet coil.
Cheers from Aus
A couple of years ago I removed a shim on my 260K 1998 Frontier to reduce the gap to fix it, didn't even need to take the AC belt off to do that !
I'm not a mechanic but this tutorial has given me the confidence to do it myself. Great Video. Thanks
Does confidence replace knowledge? Maybe 🙃
@@Ze_Moose Knowledge begets confidence.
@@Ratlins9 True but what begets confidence? 🤔
Me too
I agree I am not a mechanic but I think I am going to do this one myself in the morning my car AC compressor is making a ton of noise and it's getting louder and louder so I think I make it my hands dirty you know grease dirty
By far best DIY instructional video I have seen on car repairs! Great job man! Look forward to learning alot more from this guy! Ty
I've got a 2000 Jeep XJ and a cheap wife, so I watch A LOT of DIY repair videos on here, and I just gotta say that this is just flat-out one of the best I've ever seen. Good camera angles, good lighting, perfect explanations about how everything works individually and as a system, no useless mumbling banter or side-topics that aren't relevant . . . just pure relevance and good, clear information all the way through. I think you just got a subscriber. This is exactly how videos like this ought to be made. You rock!
and a cheap wife,🙃 I don't think your wife☺ is cheap, she is just conservative which in my book is number one. And she knows you've got the talent to fix whatever needs fixing,
No she's cheap. He knows her better than anyone. Mine could use a friend like that. It would be a worthy investment to send her across the pond for a few months what do you say? I'll have her jet fueled up just as quick as you confirm sir!
Sir, thank you for doing these types of videos. These really help guys like me to learn and do work on my vehicles. Thanks and may God Bless you !
Best auto video I have ever seen. Great job covering the potential hazards of this process. Fast and effective communication. Outstanding and well done!
I cringe every time he tells you to use a hammer to pound out the bearing and to hammer it in to reinstall it as well. It's like this guy never heard of a bearing removal/install tool.
This was one of the best DIY videos I've seen. The info and the quality is excellent! Keep it up!
What a great, high quality video on this topic! Thank you. With all of the junk videos online, it's nice to have one with such great audio, visual, and lighting! Well done.
I am from India and never any one can teach like you my bro i will make you my teacher
Excellent video - clearly explained and great camera work\lighting\audio!
I've always just replaced my compressors with used ones.
but now i might just dabble with them as long as parts are cheap and available.
thanks man great tutorial.
oh and i love the clear coat one as well.
The idea is to not have to lose the gas!
مرحبا عندي كمبرسر تشتغل بس عله كيف مايعرف صوره صحيحه
If you go with used compressors you are just asking for trouble
Iman, you're amazing. Thank you so much. You've saved me endless frustration and thousands of dollars since I found your channel.
What an amazing video !!! Simple, complete and straight to the point !!
I replaced the bearing once, as I had noise when tut clutch kicked in, as you said get the number and it was $10
Put the pulley in the press removed it, pressed a new one in
This guy and Chris Fix are the OG's of car repair videos
Scotty kilmer too
Great Video! Thank you for posting this, you did an excellent job explaining all the components.
i have a 1978 dodge motorhome and over the last few days I've had this squealing coming from under the hood near the alternator and air compressor , tried spraying WD40 around the belts, still get the squealing. you just made my life so much easier because of this video because i was dreading how much this was going to cost me. you just gave me a quick and simple way to see if its the bearing and if it is replace it
THANK YOU!
Beautiful presentation, amigo. Your lighting, vid quality, attention to detail, clean sound made this very informative tutorial a joy to see. Also, clarity of speech and pace of your words is a job well done. Thank you ~ Gordon.
Had this diagnosed at the shop but wanted to do some research on it. Thanks for the video!
I want to thank you for this video instruction. I needed to swap out a clutch coil on my 04 Dakota and this video really helped me out. I got a new coil on ebay for 50 bucks and it's in there and working great so far.
Really well done video brother. I appreciate it. Thanks again
ha i have a t-shirt , ' dont call me bro, if you dont know me ' NOT true, but a chuckle.....good day.
How long did the Ebay clutch coil last?
@@carlorocky It's still working fine...
Thanks, I had a decent idea of how this setup worked, but your teardown let me see how it all fits together. Thanks
Awesome explanations! For someone who doesn't do a lot of auto work this makes this task clear.
Excellent video. I currently have no sound on my computer and I was still able to make sense of it. Just finished successful coil replacement. Thank you very much.
You can turn on captions when you have no sound. Tap the little info icon and just turn on closed captions. Should look like “cc”
Very well done clear explanation. One small point the bearing your refer to is the AC clutch bearing, not the AC compressor bearing, which would be inside the compressor. Additionally you should be able to check the clutch activation coil with an ohm meter to see if there is continuity. No continuity through the coil = a burned out coil. Since the compressor is near the 12 V battery in the car, you should be able to use a small clip wire to test the coil in the fashion you did. I hope you are correct about the polarity of the colored wires. It might be a good idea to use an ohm meter to check for continuity to ground before apply power, or you could also check for voltage in the wire with either a volt meter or pin poke tester that uses a light which is usually easier than a volt meter.
I like that you did all of this outside of the car making it easy to see, instead of dark camera angles and poor lighting like other videos.
Thanks! I had an intermittently working a/c and I fixed it by removing one of the shims and closing the clutch gap. Your video helped a ton.
Thanks for the idea. My A/C works intermittently as well. As a first step I'll try closing that gap by removing a washer. Hope that fixes it.
That's why I wanted you to be so good. Not everyone can think like you. Step by step, I have accepted you as a teacher.
????
Very very educational I feel like I know now how to diagnose and fix the AC situation. Great video!!
Thank you so much..absolutely no music or unnecessary intro..start to point...great job!!
I didn't see any negative comments and I wonder where thumbs down came from!
It's very rare to see such a detailed video on TH-cam.
I would never attempt this myself for lack of tools and my mechanical ineptitude, but I enjoyed learning from your video.
This has been a GOD SEND. Thank you for sharing your information. Be blessed and keep doing what your doing; You are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again
Thanks for the technical explanation. Understanding how something works really helps me understand what could be wrong. The AC in my truck was not very cold so I kept adding refrigerant. Now it's fully charged and still won't get cold. Thinking maybe clutch is slipping or something.
if the clutch is slipping do you replace the clutch?
AC messed up last week and I just ordered my ac clutch/coil kit just now ! I've always replaced my compressors but after seeing your video I've gotta try this !
I was looking all over TH-cam to find a video on this particular clutch.
Thanks so much for the demo on how this type of clutch works!
the image quality of this video is amazing.
Good job man. I was able to rebuild my ac clutch. The clutch bearing went and I didnt want to replace the entire compressor. 11-19-18. Reno.nv.
how could you tell the bearing was the problem?
Even though this video is from 5 years ago but It helped me so much now. Thanks for the great explanation of how the compressor works and posting this video.
Felt at ease the way he hammered it and liked the tear down . Was worried about replacing compressor while problem with bearing. Now car has no annoying noise no more. Thank you!!!!
This is the Best video plus the quality even till now!! so hey, what could possibly be wrong with my 06 focus that AC vents starts blowing cool air for a short period when i start the engine and drive/speed off for less than 4mins even when all AC settings are off . please help ! already subscribed.
It’s just the vents will continue to push air out even a little bit when driving , until it fully closes the ac port
If it never stops coming out the port isn’t closing all the way
Perfect, once again just what I needed to see to change my bearing in my 1999 Mercedes SLK230, Thank YOU!!!
Great video! No long intro with music.. straight to the point and informative!! THANKS!!
What a great video! You're a good teacher and made understanding the fundamentals very easy. Thank you!
Awesome video. Straight to the point, informative and no time wasted. Thank you.

wow! this is a very thorough and well made video with great editing!! Thanks for doing such an awesome job!!
I just came across this video, the narration, camerawork, step by step instructions made me a subscriber. Superb job and thanks, I can now replace the bearing on my ac pulley.
1 million thanks for this video because I watched bunch of video they talked about coil, clutch, bearings but they never said if the compressor comes completely with all together but for me I assumed the clutch is not engaged all I am going to do is to change the compressor. Now I also understand when they say " rebuilt compressor". Again I thank you. Best video.!
Thanks! Great video,clear instructions.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great video for anyone with basic mechanical knowledge. You got some good teaching skills.
Very nice, clear video for people who can take it straight with no comedy act or annoying musical background! Thanks RnW.
This is a great video.it will save people including me alot of money.thanks!
Great practical video ... This individual makes it easy to understand .. They are the best produced videos I have seen on you tube
Best video I've seen on compressor. I just bought a truck for parts. Redone vacuuming and Hoping compressor is good I can handle changing a bearing. Thank you!
I liked the video before even it ended. crystal clear and non-shaky videos with excellent explanation
Excellent video. A nice tear down of the components.
Thanks for the info. You gave me enough confidence to do this myself. Thankyou
You have a natural teaching ability. Very straight and clear and complete explanations.
Awesome tutorial my friend. Cool breakdown. I'm needing to do this for my 93' Buick Roadmaster 5.7l. It actually has three clutch-packs built within.
BEST video on this subject on all of youtube thank you very helpful!!
great video and very informative. keep up the good work.
Thanks master! Just playing some AC/DC stuff on the car made the clutch get going. Rocking clutch!
Thank you so much for this video. With your help I was able to fix the AC of my gfs car with just 50€ of parts (coil failed). Mechanic couldn't find the problem and wanted to change the whole compressor for 500€
You saved me a lot of mones
Great video man very informative
Thanks, this video was very informative. The A/C went out in a 1998 Toyota Tundra & I am trying to determine just what the problem is & your demonstration of how the compressor & clutch operate was very helpful esp since I am new at this;-)
Awesome video I just got my 609, at my work we always replace the whole compressor/clutch assembly so this video was very helpful for me to try to learn things the proper way.
You are indeed a professional and this is the exact information i was looking for to assist me in checking my compressor
That video quality is amazing, thank you!
Great video, you make it look so easy, which I'm sure it is for someone with more experience than myself. Well done!

This is the video I have been searching for this whole time.
Thank you
Just want to say thanks for taking the time and show how to diagnose and fix a ac compressor
It was a great information for me
God bless you
👌🏻👌🏻
Great video my friend. I especially liked the way you detailed everything. Thanks & God bless!
Man I gotta say, your videos are so inspirational, they make me improve how I do my videos, thank you so much, good job, keep them coming.
Some of the best videos on youtube, thanks for all your hard work
If you don't have the right size socket, you can seat the new bearing by hammering on the old bearing. Thanks for the video. Good stuff.
Learn something new everyday
Great tip! Thanks.
That's true, also sometimes you can find a short piece of pipe, or a pipe coupling that's the right size to press new bearing in.

thanks for the vid I just replaced my whole ac clutch, blowing cold and no squealing
Megan, you de (Wo)man !
No you didn't
Brother outstanding video. I am not mechanically inclined, but your video gives me the confidence to try it.
I never knew about the magnet + clutch part. Now I want to use it to hook up a 2nd alternator with on/off switch to lessen the load on the engine at times when its not needed to charge up a alternate power bank..
Thanks.
great detail thank you
Yo who's watching this 2018? This guy is super informative.
Best video on the subject I have seen, the explanations were perfect.
Thanks for the tutorial...you are the first I've seen to TS with the unit OUTSIDE the vehicle! Mahalo!
great video dude
Great video!
The a/c clutch fuse blows after a few minutes of it being turned on. Would that be a problem with the coil?
One of the best Videos I've ever seen . Great explaining and strait to the point
Thanks man you saved me $1200 on a new compressor by just changing the coil 👍🏽 great video
