Dose anyone know the size belt i will need to bypass the ac without buying a bypass pulley?
Just go to auto zone or where ever and when they ask you if you have ac say no then they will give you the size you need
SOURCE: Can I bypass ac compressor
You can go to an auto parts dealer.They sell a bracket with a pulley that takes the place of an a/c compressor and allows you to use the same size belt It's available at a place like NAPA or Autozone.
SOURCE: I need instructions and a diagram to bypass the ac
simple trick provided you can do this by running some twine around your pulleys allowing for1-2 inches less for slack adjuster an that will pretty close.or they may have for that system without ac meaning the condenser unit.
SOURCE: Cost to much to replace
yes it can be done but you will need to ask in auto factor for this belt as they will no doubt know the part number and should have one in stock
SOURCE: what size serpentine belt do i use to bypass the
Hi Jenni,
If you have a bad or locked-up A/C compressor, you do not have to change the belt at all unless the clutch bearing is bad. Otherwise, the belt will simply ride on the clutch pulley without any problems. All you have to do is to disconnect the A/C clutch wire connector to keep the clutch from engaging and destroying your belt.
On the other hand, if the A/C clutch bearing is the reason you are wanting to "bypass" the A/C, it would be best to just replace the clutch bearing. The bearing is available by itself. This will work to solve your problem even if your compressor is locked-up (see above).
The SANTECH part number for your compressor clutch bearing is MT2024. You should be able to grab on to one of these for arond $15 US (lots cheaper than a belt)
I don't recommend messing with trying to find a different belt to try to "bypass) the A/C compressor, because you will be opening a whole can of worms that will be aggravating and EXPENSIVE to deal with. The method described above will ensure that your belt will fit correcly and will have the correct amount of tension to prevent slipping, squealing, or damage to other bearings or pullies.
