         Removal

         1) Remove A/C compressor. Remove pressure plate shaft bolt

using socket wrench and Clutch Stopper (07112-76060). Install Clutch

Remover (07112-66040) on pressure plate. Using clutch stopper and

socket wrench, rotate clutch remover to remove pressure plate.

         2) Remove shims from pressure plate. Remove snap ring from

compressor. Tap rotor off shaft with plastic hammer. Disconnect stator

wire from housing. Remove snap ring from inside stator. Remove stator.

See Fig. 12.

CAUTION:  DO NOT damage pulley when tapping on rotor.

         Installation

         To install, reverse removal procedure. Ensure snap rings are

installed with beveled side up. tighten shaft bolt to 10 ft. lbs.

(14 N.m). Ensure clutch clearance is .014-.026" (.36-66 mm). adjust

clearance by adding or subtracting shims as necessary.

NOTE:    Check compressor refrigerant oil level when replacing seals.

         See COMPRESSOR OIL CHECKING article in the AIR CONDITIONING &

         HEAT section.

         Removal

         1) Hold clutch hub stationary and remove center nut. Screw

remover into center of hub. Turn center bolt to remove pressure plate.

         2) Remove shims from shaft. Remove snap ring from inside of

pulley. Tap pulley off of shaft with plastic mallet. Be careful not to

distort pulley while removing.

         3) Disconnect clutch coil wires from compressor housing.

remove snap ring inside coil and lift coil off compressor. Pry dust

seal out from around compressor shaft (if equipped).

         4) Place shaft key remover on shaft and turn to remove key.

Remove drain plug (if equipped). Remove service valves-to-compressor

body bolts. Remove valves. Discard "O" rings. Drain oil out of

compressor.

         5) Remove 6 through bolts from front head of compressor and

discard washers. Tap head loose from compressor; be careful not to

scratch sealing surfaces. remove snap ring (if equipped) from front

housing. Press seal plate out. Remove seal from shaft. See  Fig. 14.

         Installation

         1) Lubricate shaft seal with clean refrigerant oil and place

on compressor shaft. Lubricate seal plate and "O" ring (if equipped)

and install in front housing. Install snap ring (if equipped).

         2) Place front housing on compressor body. Install through

bolts with new washers. Tighten bolts evenly and alternately to

18 ft. lbs. (24 N.m). Install shaft key using installer and plastic

mallet. Insert dust seal into front of compressor.

         3) Install drain plug with new gasket. Add correct amount of

refrigerant oil to compressor. If service valves were removed, coat

new "O" rings with refrigerant oil and install service valves.

         4) Place clutch coil on compressor and install snap ring.

Install shims on shaft to adjust pressure plate-to-rotor clearance to

.016-.028" (.41-.71 mm). Tighten shaft nut to 12 ft. lbs. (16 N.m).

         Removal

         1) Insert two 5 mm bolts into threaded holes in armature.

Using screwdriver as a lever in between bolts, remove center bolt.

Remove armature and shims from shaft.

         2) remove snap ring. Using puller, remove pulley. Disconnect

electrical leads from field coil. Remove 3 field coil mounting bolts.

Remove field coil.

         Inspection

         Check friction surfaces for damage from excessive heat or

grooving caused by slippage. Replace parts as necessary. Check coil

winding for shorted or open winding. Clean surfaces with solvent and

dry rag.

         Installation

         To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten field coil

retaining screws to 30-56 INCH lbs. (3.4-6.4 N.m). Ensure pulley-to-

armature gap is .016-.024" (.4-.6 mm). If gap is not as specified,

adjust by adding or removing shims. Tighten center bolt to

96-108 INCH lbs. (11-13 N.m). See Fig. 15.
