[Shotimes] Re: AC Clutch

[fwhittle@mindspring.com]

I just replaced mine yesterday.  Just use 2 screwdrivers and pry the old clutch/hub off if you're replacing the pulley as well.  As for the pulley, after I removed the snap ring, it wouldn't slide off on its own, so I tapped the face of the pulley with a hammer, and it wiggled right off.  The real problem was when I reinstalled the clutch/hub with 2 shims to check the gap.  There was no gap, and I had a heck of a time getting the clutch back off to put more shims in.  I had good luck using the snap ring pliers against the threads in the center of the clutch to pull/wiggle it out.

How in Gods name do you get the clutch off? I have a 91 that I need to
replace one on badly (mine and Im headed to Tulsa in 8 days) I help Terri
H
replace hers, but it was easy undo the nut and the assembly came right
off.
I even have a test unit that I was also unable to get it off of today (its
in the dumpster now  somehow my baby sledge kept hitting it and still
never
came apart)

Any tricks or tools to purchase? Im at the I Dont give a (F) stage of the
game and need to get this done.. thanks guys
