Hurls, I've got plenty of pulleys in the shed if you need them.....

• Doing mine right now!! Well just stopped as I was given the wrong bearing from the bearing shop. On my ZD30 all that needed to be removed is the radiator shroud and belt.

• you need to remove the cover plate using 3 x, 5mm x 35mm bolts, so...
• On the face of the compressor there is a 10mm hex nut in the middle, undo this, but after you have screwed in the three bolts as you also need these as leverage with a screw driver to stop the pulley from spinning.
• Once the nut is off, even go around the three bolts to push out the cover plate.
• Once its off there is a circlip, remove circlip.
• then you will need a gear puller to remove the pulley.
• Once off all you need to do is press out the old bearing and replace.
• Then put it back together.
• Took a whole 15 minutes to get totally apart. Between beers of course.
• But now it has to go back together with a foobar bearing as I need my car so lets hope it last until I get the right bearing.

This is all for a ZD30 but most A/c pump should be along the same lines of some sort I would think...

Thanks for that. Would it make it easier to pull the clutch off with a puller similar to what NP99 posted a pic of or not needed??

I am assuming the bearing is in the pulley?

I wish i had of got motivated to look into this last week as i only just had the rad out to clean it

Thanks mate. Now i know its not a massive job i should be right. I have a bearing shop about 2 mins from my house so it shouldnt really be an issue. A mate has a press too. But i will remember that just incase i come unstuck. Plus my missus's old man has just about every tool under the sun

No worries, enjoy the job! Could you also publish the bearing part no prior to installation?

I just looked at my compressor and the manual, and i will need 2 different pullers. Oh no what a shame more tools
