What Puller to use??? (A/C Clutch)

[lazermule]

So what is the best puller to use on this a/c clutch? Just a standard 3 jaw and get behind it? I want to replace the bearing in it. It's on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee...

Thanks, LM

Must use special puller. Rent one

^ Beat me to it. Most auto parts stores will have one. If you want to buy one they can be had for $100-200

Does the A/C even work?

If not, go to Napa and ask for part BK 6601819. I believe the bypass pulley costs around $40.

I am very familiar with the overflow hose zip-tied to the core support scenario.

Yeah, I guess I got a bit rough with the fan shroud when I changed out the radiator the last time...

Do some research but Im not sure you can get parts for that clutch. Some of the Chrysler stuff is non serviceable and you have to get a compressor with a clutch.

Yes, the a/c works well...well it did until this clutch gave out. I have replaced the compressor once like 5 yrs and 100K miles ago due to damaging it trying to take the last clutch off that failed. This clutch has no threaded holes in the fron for a puller as shown in the picture I have attached. Any other ideas? I'd rather not break open the system again and just repair the clutch bearing which I do have a listed part number for. Here's a picture of the clutch..
