Its fixed (again). I replaced the entire clutch assembly from the old compressor. It was simple and you can do it with the lines in place. Of course it would of been easier if the lines were not in the way. The coil was fried, the bearing was bad and the clutch was melted. I'm not sure which one happened first, but the mating surface of the clutch was not in good shape.


Good that it's fixed.
And good to know that the clutch will come off w/o pulling the lines. I have to pull mine, it squeals on off idle throttle blip but works fine above idle.

I searched an a/c forum quite a while ago. You can check the gap on the clutch plates with a feeler gauge. IIRC, it's supposed to be around 0.020 - 0.022. Mine's wider than that. Should be able to reduce the gap by removing a shim, (supposedly).
