80 series Replacing air cond compressor bearings?
My air con compressor is making a noise.
The bearings are shot.
What is involved in replacing these

Talk to this bloke, he is great, helped me heaps with my 60 series. You can send yours to him to be repaired, get a new one, or maybe he can tell you what needs to be done.

If it is the bearing it is located behind the clutch. pretty easy to do if you have basic tools and a bit of mechanical knowledge.
Will try and post a pic or two of a denso 10Pa which is what you probably have or very similar.

bearing
there is normally a circlip as well
what stage are you at? do you have the front part of the clutch off?
when you have the nut or bolt off (depending on what model compressor you have) take the front of the clutch off, this is the part that is pulled in against the pulley when the a/c is on. This part can be a bitch to get off, be careful you dont damage it, slowly work it off with two screw drivers.
when you have that off, it will look similar to this, arrow is where the circlip should be (it is off in this pic, and the circlip in this pic holds the bearing in to the clutch, not on to the housing)
next picture shows the compressor after the second half of the clutch has been removed and the groove the circlip sits in:
this pic is of the second half of the clutch removed, showing the bearing that needs to be replaced.
hope this helps, if you need more pics let me know.

Thanks heaps for that.
the front pully/clutch is still on.
Last atempt was on the weekend. I got the nut off and expected the pully/clutch to come off realy easy. It didn't although I didn't try that hard as I though something else must be holding it on.
Will have another attempt this weekend.
Mine is still on the car so access is not the best.

dunno about that, to damage the housing the bearing would have to be siezed and spin on it.
I have heard that 80 series onwards use a smaller bearing, which does flog out occasionally.
Have you called the bloke in Rocky?

if you can replace the bearing on the car (if that is all that is wrong with) it will save quite a few dollars.
If you take the compressor off, then it means a regas, new receiver dryer, flush and vaccum if you do it properly......

I once decided to take the pulley off my air conditioner to make a drive for an air compresser....it was such a hard job getting the bent nose inside circlip plyers in there to get the circlip out using a mirror...i ended up breaking it out and using a spare to reinstall...that was on a 1fzfe
Confucious say...man who argue with idiot, worserer himself
If you let the bearing go to far and it seizes, it will chew the alloy snout on the compressor and you'll have to throw it away.bruiser wrote:Auto air con guy reckons that the hosing or the shaft where the bearing sits normally flogs out and that you usually have to replace the whole compressor.
What do other people think about that.
The circlip can be tricky to get off, removing the 4 bolts from the compressor and rotating it so you can see what you're doing helps.
The other problem is getting the drive plate off once the bolt is removed, as they seize onto the shaft. Last one I did, after sparying and soaking with lubricant, was to tap a 5/16 thread (IIRC) in the front of the drive plate, then screwed a bolt into it which pushed up against the compressor shaft and pushed the plate off eventually.
