idler pulleys -Bad AC clutch assy
Does anyone of the sponsors sell a set of idlers pulleys? I have already removed the tensioners and rhe ax idler to re pack them and it seems like the new grease did nothing for the AC pulleys. There is a bad squeal that goes away when I turn the AC on. I've checked chinazone but their producs suck.

are those replaceable or will I need a new AC compressor?
for the time being, I think I will just take the belt off and drive it like that, I rarely drive it. But I will like to fix it.

Well you have hit the nail square in the head man went under the car and put my ear close to the clutch and the squeal is commin from there. Are the AC clutches replaceable while the compressor is mounted?

I have the same problem and wanna know what can be done to fix it. I would hate to pay all that money for a new compresser when mine works fine other than the sound.

Well I looked around and most AC pulleys are pressed on, and either way the AC compressor will have to come out. So I checked prices and the clutch bearimg and coil come out to be ~$120 you would still have to buy the tool that removes and installs the pulley, and then you still run the risk of the rest of the compressor taking a dump down the road. For the time being I took the belt off. Just in time for summer , I rarely drive the car but I'm looking to fix it cause I don't want to leave any but puddles on the seat.
