Compressor making noise

(1/3) > >>

TexasT:
Compressor making noise. I sprayed it with wd40 and that quieted it down. I haven't used the ac in at least twenty years. I'm sure it needs a compressor but that ain't in the budget this year. I've been googling and I'm not sure if I should try to replace the pulley bearing or just buy the A/c delete pulley setup and go with it until I can afford a new compressor. Wife went to eye doctor, needs kateract surgery to the tune of $3900. No ac for me for a while but I do need to drive the car.

Any thoughts? I think I can use the loan a tool thing at az. I have a 3 jaw puller just nee the clutch puller and clutch installer tools if the google results are what I'm going to do. Also does anyone have the bearing number I will need for a stock compressor pulley.

TIA

TexasT:
Is this similar to what I'm in for? I know this is the older compressor but maybe the clutch is similar.

Ask around locally if someone has one they pulled out to use for the interim?

I've got a spare compressor that came with my barn engine. It's yours if you would like it
