Thanks for the good advice on the freon handling. I was looking for some posts on the A/C compressor, and some people reccomend taking the clutch/pulley assembly off the new compressor and installing it on the old compressor in cases like mine, where the compressor itself was still working but the pulley bearing went bad. That way you don't have to crack the system so you shouldn't need any freon. Then if the compressor does eventually go you'll have one ready to go.
This idea doesn't sound too bad as a rebuilt clutch/pulley/bearing assembly costs $125 plus shipping (without compressor) while this aftermarket version comes new with everything for $199 including shipping.
The warranty restrictions were pretty strict, as the 2 year warranty was only good if you also changed the receiver/dryer, condenser, expansion valve, and all the work was done by a "certified" automotive A/C technician, so most likely the warranty wouldn't apply to me in this case (I'd change out the receiver/dryer and maybe the expansion valve regardless, but the condensor is big $$ and defeats the purpose of doing it myself to save money).
Anyone out there change out just the clutch/pulley assembly with the compressor still in the car with good results?
Thanks again.
