Q: Bearings
So i believe the bearings on the a/c compressor clutch are going out. I used a stethoscope to determine which pully the .noise was.coming from and it is the pully on the compressor. I have purchased the part and pulley installer and remover. My question is.do i have to completely remove the compressor from the car to change the bearings?
