Removal

Hold clutch plate and remove shaft bolt. Remove clutch plate and adjustment shim(s). (Scheme 1) Remove pulley snap ring and discard. Position universal 2-jaw puller to back of pulley and Driver Adapter (07947-6340300) to center of pulley. If puller jaws are located on belt area, pulley will be damaged. Remove pulley. Remove clutch coil snap ring and discard. Disconnect clutch coil wiring harness and remove clutch coil.

Installation

1. Install clutch coil in reverse order of removal. Ensure wire side is facing down and pin on clutch coil boss is aligned with hole in compressor housing. Ensure NEW snap ring is properly seated. Properly route and connect clutch coil wiring harness.
2. Install NEW shims the same thickness as originally removed. Position pulley over clutch coil. Using Hub Guide (07965-6920500), press pulley onto compressor boss. Maximum press load is 5690 psi (400 kg/cm 2 ) or 882 lbs. (400 kg). If pulley does not press on straight, remove pulley and inspect pulley and compressor boss for damage or burrs.
3. Hold clutch plate and tighten shaft nut to 13 ft. lbs. (18 N.m). Ensure air gap between clutch plate and pulley is 0.014-0.026" (0.35-0.65 mm). If air gap is incorrect, add or remove shim(s) as necessary.

Note. If compressor shaft seal leaks, replace compressor.

Scheme 1

Using Clutch Plate Holder (J-37872), hold clutch plate stationary and remove compressor shaft bolt. Remove clutch plate and shims. Remove snap ring and pulley. Remove clutch coil wiring harness from compressor. Remove snap ring and clutch coil. (Scheme 2)

1. To install, reverse removal procedure. Use NEW snap rings. Ensure snap rings are installed with beveled side facing out and fully seated in snap ring groove. Install clutch coil with wire facing downward. Apply thread lock to compressor shaft bolt. Tighten shaft bolt to 117 INCH lbs. (13 N.m).
2. Ensure air gap between clutch plate and pulley is 0.014-0.026" (0.36-0.66 mm). If air gap is incorrect, add or remove shim(s) as necessary.

Scheme 2

1. Remove shaft nut while holding clutch plate with Clutch Holder (J-37872). Remove pressure plate and shim(s). Remove snap ring.
2. Using universal puller attached to outer diameter of pulley, and Driver (07947-6340300) in center of pulley, remove pulley. DO NOT engage puller on belt area. Hold puller in place and tighten screw to remove pulley. Remove screw for clutch coil lead. Remove snap ring and clutch coil.

Using Hub Guide (07945-6920500), press pulley onto compressor boss. Maximum press load is 5690 psi (400 kg/cm 2 ) or 882 lbs. (400 kg).
2. Tighten shaft nut to 13 ft. lbs. (18 N.m). Using feeler gauge, ensure air gap between pressure plate and pulley is 0.014-0.026" (0.35-0.65 mm). If air gap is incorrect, add or remove shim(s) as necessary.

Note. If shaft seal leaks, replace compressor.

1. Using clutch disc/plate holder, remove clutch disc/plate bolt. Using puller and forcing screw, remove clutch disc/plate. (Scheme 3)
2. Remove shim(s) and snap ring. On DKV-14D compressor, use pulley puller pilot to protect compressor shaft. On all models, use a puller to remove pulley. Remove screw for clutch coil lead. Remove 3 clutch coil screws and clutch coil.

1. To install, reverse removal procedure. Align clutch coil pin with hole in front head of compressor and install clutch coil. Tighten clutch coil screws to 44 INCH lbs. (5 N.m). Using pulley installer and drive handle, tap pulley onto compressor. On all models, install new snap ring.
2. On DKV-14D compressor, tighten clutch plate bolt to 113 INCH lbs. (13 N.m) Using feeler gauge, ensure air gap between clutch plate and pulley is 0.012-0.024" (0.30-0.60 mm). If air gap is incorrect, add or remove shim(s) as necessary.
