92 Ford F-150 a/c clutch pulley removal

This car has 2 different compressors 1 is SANDEN and other is CV171 but both require a specail puller to remove the outer clutch hub This puller screws on to the main shaft and has a threaded nut (outer side ) that screws into hub this removes hub then remove snap ring off compressor snout and install a spacer (specail tool) this covers the main shaft not to damage thrust bearing internal of compressor and a second puller can remove pulley. Most bearings are swedge fitted so the whole pulley needs to be replaced this comes in kit with a clutch coil also it is held on with a snap ring also. there are small washers (shims) that adjust the air gap on the pulley to hub set @ .025-.045

to change this bearing requires special mechanics tools. This job can quickly become a real pain if the bearing has been staked on. What level is your mechanical expertise? With all due respect if you do not have pullers and access to presses I would not try this project. At the minimum you will need snap ring pliars, a new bearing, a serpentine belt removal tool, a special puller and a press.
First remove the serpentine belt. In the center of the compressor pulley there may be a nut that needs removed, remove it. thread in the special pulley clutch removal tool as far as possible with the center bolt of the puller all the way out. With the tool threaded on tighten the center bolt on the tool until the pulley clutch comes off. this works best if you use an impact. now you should see the snap ring on the center hub. remove it. The hub with bearing should now slide off. If it doesnt you will have to use another special puller. Once you get that off you will have to have the bearing pressed out. Likely the outside race will be staked on. it helps if you can grind those off. A machine lathe works wonders for that job. Once the bearing is off put the new one on with the help of a press and a little locktite. You do not need to restake it as long as it fits plenty tight. the rest of the installation is pretty much the reverse of removal. The pulley clutch will need to be pulled on tight with a special tool with special attention given to the gap. You dont want it to touch but you want the clutch faces as close together as possible. good luck.

you need a pully puller tool

you will need power steering pully puller you can rent them at most of your local part house or you can buy them there you will need to pull of belts then the pully hope this helps

A pulley and clutch set cost less than US$100. in US. In Canada, prepare to pay double or more. If do it yourself, loan a pulley puller and clutch remover from PartSource... and it took me less than an hour to replacei them..

remove drive belt then aquire the clutch removal tool from Auto zone or Napa, there is a specific puller designed to remove this clutch,in some cases in order to hold the pulley while removing center nut or bolt you must use a chain wrench with an old leather belt wraped around the pulley to protect the v-ribs on pulley in order to get the pulley bolt or nut loose the clutch will just turn when trying to loosen center nut if you don't use the chain wrench to hold it, after removing said nut or bolt attach the puller to the clutch and while holding it stationary with the chain wrench proceed to turn the shaft of the puller to remove the clutch, it should pop free after a couple of turns with a socket wrench of the appropriate size. PS use the chain wrench ($22.00 Auto zone) only in the corerect direction it does not clamp effectively either direction. also sometimes there is special holding tool for certain clutches, consult Napa or the dealer before buying the chain wrench it may not be effective in holding the clutch while trying to remove center bolt.

the disc of the clutch might come off easy when it's unbolted. but the pully is pressure fitted to the compressor shaft. there a puller designed to remove it.

you need to start by getting a chilton or haines manuel, also a 3 prong wheel puller.

The maneuls will tell you what needs to get moved out of your way to get to the pulley. Pulling the pulley is relatively simple, you put the puller on and then use a wrench or rachet and pending on how much room you have. and it will do the work for you. The hard part is getting to the pulley and getting everything out of your way. Sorry I can't be more helpfull but your answer is not an easey one. You have a front wheal drive car with a 6 cylinder in it, and its a tight place.
