Will an auto elec be able to replace the teeth that engage the flywheel?
yes, the part your refering to is called the 'drive'
and they can usually be repaired but can always be replaced if they are too badly worn, cheaper than replacing the entire unit.

where are you located?

ur local auto sparky can easily overhaul it and if you remove and refit it will keep your costs down

or if you wanted to get a brand new 1 repco will be alot cheaper than nissan. or talk to your auto sparky as he can always supply you with one

the oil in ur ac compressor is a light blue colour, but should also have a green/yellow flurocent dye added into the system to help detect leaks. if it is indeed a compressor problem it is cheaper to replace the compressor rather than get it fully overhauled, unless you can re-fit the seals urself ...
