I'm going to change out the A/C clutch. It's squealing loudly and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it freezes up or comes apart.
How hard is it to change the clutch? Are there any special tools that I'll need? Do I need to remove the entire compressor to get the clutch off? I'm hoping to replace it while the compressor's still on the motor. It has been blowing cold air every summer for years and would rather not break the lines open. I have most of the tools needed to work on the entire car. However, both times I had the engine out, I just tied the a/c compressor up n' out of the way while it was still hooked up. So I've never removed it. Any advice would be appreciated.
