AC clutch out - help
I'm trying to get the hub/pulley/clutch assembly off of the compressor with no luck. Removed the shaft nut and can't seem to get it off. I didn't see any type of c-clip or retainer. Need to figure out how to fix this quick as it's my DD. I was planning on just getting a new bearing so the car can be driven until i can replace the entire compressor, that or a shorter belt. The clutch ate itself with smoke, metal and burning plastic. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for the help
Thanks guys. I did manage to get it off - however, the bearing froze and ground down the compressor sleeve that extends from the body. If it's not one thing it's another!!!

Also,most times you have to buy a new drier and orifice and etc to even get the full warranty from the stores so that adds up even more money.
Then theres the R12 freon most shops will charge you 300 or more to recharge or the cheaper R134a conversion youll need to do if it hasnt been done already.
