3. Remove the compressor. Refer to Air Conditioning Compressor Replacement.
4. Remove the clutch plate and hub assembly. Refer to Compressor Clutch Plate and Hub Assembly Removal.
5. Remove the clutch rotor and bearing. Refer to Clutch Rotor and Bearing Removal.
6. Mark the clutch coil terminal location on the compressor housing.
7. Install the J 33023-A  (3) on the compressor housing. Also install the J 8433-1  (1) with the J 33025  (4).
8. Tighten the J 8433-3  (1) against the J 33023-A  (3) to remove the clutch coil.

1. Place the J 33024  (1) over the internal opening of the clutch coil housing and align the J 33024  (1) with the compressor housing.
2. Place the J 33024  (1) over the internal opening of the clutch coil housing and align the J 33024  (1) with the compressor housing.



3. Center the J 8433-1  (4) in the countersunk center hole of the J 33024  (3). Install the through-bolts of the J 34992  (2) and the washers in the crossbar slots. Thread them into the holding fixture to the full thickness of the holding fixture.

4. Turn the J 8433-3  (1), or use a suitable vise, to force the clutch coil onto the compressor housing.



5. When the clutch coil is fully seated on the compressor housing, use a 3 mm (1/8 in) diameter drift punch and stake the housing at 3 places, 120 degrees apart, to ensure that the clutch coil will remain in position. The stake point size should be only 1/2 the area of the punch tip and approximately 0.28-0.35 mm (0.010-0.015 in) deep.
