CAUTION: The snap ring must be fully and prop-
erly seated in the groove or it will vibrate out,
resulting in a clutch failure and severe damage to
the A/C compressor.
NOTE: A new snap ring must be used to secure
the pulley and bearing assembly to the A/C com-
pressor. The bevel side of the snap ring must face
outward.
4. Using snap ring pliers (2), install the snap ring (1)
that secures the pulley and bearing assembly (3) to
the front of the A/C compressor. Be certain that the
snap ring is fully and properly seated in the groove.
5. If the original clutch plate (2) and pulley and bear-
ing assembly are to be reused, reinstall the original
shim(s) (3) onto the compressor shaft (1). If a new
clutch plate and pulley and bearing assembly are
being used, install a trial stack of shims 2.54 mm
(0.010 in.) thick onto the compressor shaft.
