A/C Pulley ?, Is this bad?
Since I have the front of my motor tore apart I was going through and checking things out that might be in need of some attention. I don't know jack about A/C systems and my pulley makes some noise when spun by hand.
See It Here
If so, what all needs to be replaced and how hard is it to do it? It looks like you can remove the one 10mm bolt in the center, but I'd like some advice first. Thanks in advance.
I also think I need a timing belt idler pulley as well.
Thanks,
Andrew

id replace both for sure.....
as far as the ac pulley you might wanna check to see if theres a bearing you can replace ( i dont believe its hard to do) instead of the whole assembly.......
my first stop would be the dealership(if you want oem parts of course) and see if theres a part # for just a bearing.
i know that on my taco i can replace just the bearing (cheap$$) instead of the whole pulley/mounting unit (mucho $$)

PS...if you do end up needing a compressor these guys have an entire re-manf compressor w/ clutch for a lot cheaper than an aftermarket compressor that you get from Kragen's or Autozone that usually doesn't have a compressor. I bought my mom's for only $129...and it is a re-manf ND compressor.

Mohamed,
Thank you for the reply. I did get the pulley off. All you do is remove the 10mm bolt and the cover that it holds on. Behind that is a snap ring and once removed the pulley will come off revealing the guts of the A/C clutch. My clutch looked good but the bearing is just starting to go bad. I just picked up the bearing from a bearing supply store. It is a Nachi bearing # 30BG5222UUS. It measures 52mm OD, 30mm ID and 22mm wide and was about $25. The guy recommended using blue locktite on the outer race that contacts the inside of the pulley. Looks like I'll be in business.
Thanks,
Andrew
