apexi Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I found a kit on eBay utilizing new parts: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252332680584?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I liked the idea of getting ones without any wear so I didn't end up having to do this again 6-12 months down the road. The parts are definitely not identical to the stock ones been seem well enough made. I'll post back in 6 months time to update everyone on how they're holding up. Any updates?

rhino6303 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Bumping this up. Has anyone replaced just the bearing in the pulley or does anyone have a picture of the bearing with numbers so I can source a replacement? When I removed my alternator there was quite a bit of dust and I'm thinking that at 220k, the bearing may be on its way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jg121783 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I believe I am having issues with my compressor clutch. With the AC off everything is fine. Once I turn the AC on I only get intermittent cold air and sometimes the pulley seizes with the clutch engaged. The R134a pressure is right where it is supposed to be so that isn't the issue. I have a 2001 Outback wagon with about 180k miles on it to give you an idea how old the compressor is. Does this sound like something a new clutch will fix? I ordered this one off ebay and it should be here by Monday: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254207433120 The seller said it will work if I have the original factory compressor which I believe I do. $45 is better than $300+ to replace the compressor so I hope this works.

RumblyXT Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Bumping this helpful thread 3 years later. My 212K miles compressor (I'm thinking it's the original one) seems to have departed. The socket trick to remove it was very helpful! I was going to try to fix the clutch/gap, but it may be more than that given its age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
