zonianbrat Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 ok i tried to search for this topic and did not find what i wanted. Anyway when i turn on the ac in my 97 pathy the compressor kicks on and you can hear the bearings in it whining i stuck a stethiscope (spelling?) to it and it is definetely the bearings is there a way to replace these without replacing the whole compressor??? I always thought i would have to replace the whole thing. It has lasted about a year and a half with the whining I figure i am not going to replace it until it goes out completely. I know comoressors are expensive and i want to explore all my options before i have to buy a new one. :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Unless you're a vehicular HVAC tech, I don't think trying to disassemble the compressor is an easy job. Usually people just get a new/remanned one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonianbrat Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 :X that is kinda what i figured but i was not sure if maybe the bearings on the pulley were accesible or not i had to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 PartsAmerica.com has the bearings for the clutch priced between $26 and $44... just an FYI if that is what you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonianbrat Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Thanks i will check that out. I believe it is inner bearings but not totally sure. When i stuck a stethiscope on it i put it on the core or whole housing of the compressor so maybe i will have to check on it again. :bow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
