Has anyone changed their A/C Compressor Clutch?

Hi Dan,

First thing is there enough room to remove clutch assy with compressor still in place...our firewall is directly in front of it....I know we have a inspect plate which could help with room and accessabilty.
If above is a yes then you will need basic tools along with a angled snap ring pliers...
Then it's a matter of sliding clutch pulley off magnet then unbolting the magnet from compressor housing.
Could be quite challenging without a lift...
Too bad your so far away would be happy to help out..

I’ve looked at these kits before in the UK and for other cars they are $100.
I’d check first to see if the eBay part has Ferrari tax applied.

 

My compressor went out on my 430 and I had it rebuilt at a place called, Mobil Air Parts in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
The number is 770-963-4308. I am not sure whether my problem is the same as yours but it ended up costing me $250 to have it
rebuilt. Maybe they can help you with the AC clutch. Good Luck

 

Dan did you look into getting quickjack? They work really well and you get some good height out of them without putting in a lift. You can easily get under the car on a creeper. I know you like working on your car so it would probably work out well for you if you didn't want to put in a full size lift. I use mine all the time.

 

I have the 3500. Lifts the car no problem.

 

Take a new compressor delphi My compressor's pulley broke down 1 month ago so i change it but broke down again Then i take a new compressor delphi for 220 euro and i am very happy all works well Take it from a dealer delphi not a ferrari Good luck Ps sorry for my english and hello from Athens,Greece

 

Good morning Dan

If it helps you the compressor is the same as maserati 4200 it is not difficult to change the compressor(about two hours) and it is the best solution you have not problem for another ten years After two hours (because it is Saturday) if you want i call the mechanic if he has the old compressor and tell me the type of delphi but you can see the label on it I think it is the best solution for you because it is cheapier to change the compressor from the repair clutch kit and you have all the compressor new Goodbye

 

Hello Dan
I call my mechanic and he tells me that he hasn t anymore the compressor i think but i am not sure 100 o/o that it is delphi cm5915 you can see the label on it or you can take the item and you can go to delphi shop to find it I am sorry but i change this four weeks ago and it s too late Good luck with the clutch

 

I was mistaken I actually have the 5000. I could have swore I ordered the 3500 but I just looked and they are the 5000bl. I had them for over a year and I guess senility is kicking in. Sorry for any confusion.
