No response? WoW

Not that big of a deal. There is a special tool to hold the pulley while you unscrew the coupling nut (left handed threads!!!).

Are you sure the fan clutch is your A/C problem? The only way that could be is if the clutch was shot and the fan was freewheeling. Therefore not pulling enough air through the radiator/condenser, which can prevent heat from being drawn from the refrigerant in the condenser.

not sure excatly! the independent repair shop was recommending$1400 for repairs, sounds like a compressor and drier to me. The car is by my son and i will get there in a couple months. thanks for your reply I do appreciate that.

Well, a fan clutch is not going to cost $1400. If the compressor came apart, $1400 is realistic for parts, flushing, evacuation and recharge. And there's really no way around it other than getting prices elsewhere.

thank you very much
