Title: AIR CON COMPRESSOR REPAIR
Post by the_machine on May 22^nd, 2006, 7:38am

heres a tip if your pulley bearing ha gone:

remove the pulley by unscrewing the 8mm bolt, you can then remove a circlip and the pulley comes off. the bearing can be removed by grinding the metal tags that lock it in place. buy a new bearing then seal it back in by punching some new tags into the housing by using a cold chisel. saves you over £100 + pounds.

guess what ?? ford dont sell the pulley wheel on its own!!!!!

madness !!!!!!!

crazy lot !

(new bearing £5) from swan bearings , preston , lancs

Thanks for thinking of me :-*, but I've just managed to get a second hand one off pinxtonpete for a very reasonable price.
This advice will come in handy though for when I get the old one off. If I manage to fix it then at least I will have a spare.

Make sure you blank off the inlet and outlet holes as soon as you take the pump off mate so as not to let in any dirt or moisture.
