Instructions to Replace A/C Air Compressor in 97 TJ..
 

Hello,

does anyone have a link to instructions for the replacement of a new
AIR Compressor / Clutch in my 97 TJ. My A/C clutch went out and I
bought a replacment (which was cheaper as a combo to buy the clutch
and the compressor) and I would like to put them on myself.

By looking at the existing one it looks very simple. I have the
necessary gauges to install the unit. I have them for when I worked on
the A/C in one of my JD tractor's.

Any help would be appreciated!!

TIA!
SP

If you think this might be a rare or one time thing I would recommend
www.alldatadiy.com. I think it costs $25 for a year subscription for one
vehicle. Your subscription will have the step-by-step procedures for
everything in the mechanics manual. If you think you will be doing more of
this kind of work on the jeep, then i would just buy the real-deal service
manual. I think they sell for less than $100. If you search you might also
find an illegeal copy on cd at places like ebay.

If it's just the clutch that needs to be replaced, then just
replace it. Otherwise you're looking at the need to vacuum it, and a
skill level I really don't think you want to take the time to learn,
judging by the way you put the question. It's just the bolt at the end
and a snap ring, about a minute to change:

Bills right unless you inored it too long and the insides were torn up also.
The same brand of compressor is used on VW Eurovans, I have one, and this
subjects comes up too often. If you drove it and used the AC with a bad
clutch the "innards" were forced to run out of round, off center if you
will, and it goes out quickly.

Re: Instructions to Replace A/C Air Compressor in 97 TJ..
 

Thanks.. I thought that i woult just try the clutch first.. some one
told me that my compressor was probably bad if the clutch was.. but I
dont think I even ran it a day before I relaized the clutch was bad so
maybe I will get lucky .. and if the compressor is bad i can always
have someone put it on.

Do you have anymore of those helpful diagrams of the serpentine blet
install.. I read in here a while back that there is a trick to it. I
had a heck of a time getting one on last time.

Thanks so much fo you're help!

Most cars have a diagram of the belt someplace under the hood. I
find it falls into place if I start by holding the back of the belt
against the water pump pulley: http://www.----------.com/serpenti.jpg
