1994 SE 3.8L A/C Clutch Problem
How do I remove and replace the A/C clutch? I know how to handle the belt. Any special tools needed for the clutch? Thanks.

You have to remove the entire A/C compressor, you cannot just remove the clutch. On my 90, there are 3 bolts that hold the compressor in place ( that I can remember), plus you have a bolt on the rear that holds the 2 hoses on ( both go into one block), along with probably 2 electrical connections.
Also remember that you will have to have your A/C system emptied before any of this can take place.

Removed the clutch without removing from vehicle.
Got at it from the fender well and removed splash guard. You need a special tool and snap-ring pliers to get it off. The inner race was fused to the shaft so it cracked off an 1/8 of the end of the shaft (where the snap-ring grove was) so ended-up replacing the whole compressor and clutch.
Guess I should have used som PBlaster and tapped on it to loosen it up first.
Hope this helps someone.
