Airconditioning pump clutch.....

[amebb]

Just a quick question....


I am trying to remove the my air conditioning clutch from my AC compressor.


There is a bolt in the middle that i need to undo.



My question is, do i undo the bolt in a clock wise motion or anti clockwise motion?


Any help greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Thank you for your link.


This is exactly what i am trying to do to my cars AC compressor.


I have checked all the cables etc and I know that when i switch on the AC the voltage goes to the compressor but the thermal fuse is blown on the clutch.


I have tried really hard to open the middle bolt on the compressor so i can remove the clutch etc.


The issue that i am having is that the clutch spins as i try to open the bolt.


i dont really want to remove the compressor as this is going to take sometime, but if i need to then i guess i will have to do that.


Thanks for your reply.

This guy used a chain strap wrench.
Looking at the parts to remove, removing the compressor makes the job easier.
