Can the clutch be replaced while mounted? If it's too much of a PIA, I might as well replace the whole darn compressor. I'm going to miss 42F A/C for a week or two.

I'll check the switch wiring. I pulled off the connector. The AUX fan went full speed. The brushless fan can really kick up speed.

It needs a new fan shroud. I'll order it. The clutch, fan, tensioner, and belt are three years old. I'll inspect them. I assume with those parts out of the way, the compressor comes out easily. The pressure switch will also be replaced. I'm taking a trip for my birthday this week. I'll get back to it next weekend. For now, I'll park it in the garage and put the BMW cover over it. I hate a dust collection. :
