2003 Forester A/C Noise

Featured Replies

While my A/C was turned off I noticed what sound like a noisy bearing from the A/C pulley. To finish my trip I cut the A/C belt which cured the noise. I'm considering replacing the pulley bearing, which I have, but was wondering how to remove the A/C clutch and rear pulley to replace the bearing. Also what is the clearance gap range for the A/C clutch. A/C has always cooled very well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Aaron 

Make sure it's not the tensioner bearing first. Those go bad much more often than the compressor bearing.
