Noisy AC comp pulley?
 

Hi guys,

My AC comp is making noise- took the belt off - to check all the pulleys- yep- that's the one.
Question is- can I quiet this thing down without replacing- can I just get a new pulley/ or clutch? Or the noise coming from the bearing inside?

The noise isn't a squeak or chirp/ it's kind of a gurgling noise.


Thanks!

is this for your current ride a 2007 Camry

some denso systems can have the bearing replaced without needing to be un gassed

if yours is not
system will need to be de gassed
and ac comp replaced or bearings/clutch etc repaired
then re gassed

Sorry about that it's a 2007's. SE 2.4. Now here's a picture of the front of the Pulley.

I haven't taken any nut off or anything.

From the videos I've watched online I feel like I should be able to remove this clutch but how do I do that.?

Thank you so much

Anybody know if a nut is missing off the front of this compressor?
If not- how do I get this pulley off?

the hex at the top of the thread must be there for a reason

thread is so rusty and no shadow of a nut being tightened so would say no locking nut

cant answer or speculate on pulley removal on that unit while gassed

the holes might be puller grab points
not willing to suggest use of a press to get the pulley off
