The other night leaving my friends house I started up my car and heard one the nasty sound of worn out bearings didnt realize what it was that night went home and went to sleep and hoped it was one of those things that you pray wont be there next time u start the car. Well next day same noise. Pull the belt off and spin a few pullies and it turns out the compressor pulley is sounds alot like a worn out skateboard wheel (sorry, but seemed like the best way to describe it lol). Is there anyway to buy just the pulley and assembly on the end of the compressor? Can I even take the assemly off or it is all one unit and id have to change the entire compressor? Id like to buy someones old broken compressor off them and use that assembly if it can be done.

 

You can get a good used 1 from here: www.tacreationsusa.com

 

i had a similar problem, somehow in the course of two days or so my entire compressor had to swapped out... oh well 356 dollars later, it should be here tomorrow. Dont know if you can rebuild it though man

 

Thanks for the help guys....anyone else got an idea?

 

Mine did the same thing, but only when the clutch would cycle. I just bought a AC delete pully and said screw it. But then again, I have a convertible. I can live without the AC. Cheap fix though, 44 bucks

Q

 

And i had to replace the whole thing myself.....go over on the for sale board and look, i think i saw one over there cheap the other day man. Do ya a search.....good luck

 

Thanks guys.
