AC Clutch

[orttauq]

A lot of threads and posts on the AC Clutch but I could not find a part number

Or can I get just the bearing? Look like it can't be pressed out.

Can you read the number on that bearing?

Yes JAPAN 678 KOYO DAC3052-3RR9D but so far no luck in finding one from Japan/Germany...only China. Online there are options but at ~$100 I might as well look at replacing the whole thing.

88410-26110 is part number for whole unit...well that is the Toyota part number so I'd guess the same for Lexus.

Magnetic coil, bearing/pulley, and outer clutch.

I got the bearing for about $12 from @1972FJ55 and the AC is back to normal, no noises or anything.

How hard was it to press out bearing? I do not have a shop press.

Thanks but only need the clutch...compressor is fine and CAF..

You'll need to grind off the metal where the bearing is peened in place, then you'll most likely need a press to get the bearing out and the new one in.

Got the bearing replaced and all back together. Had no choice but to go with China bearing as local bearing supplier carries ONLY Chinese.
Paid $18, Koyo brand was 7-10 days out and $98. Fingers Crossed.

Thanks All!

My AC compressor makes a knocking sound when I turn it on. Is that the bearing?

 

[Dissent]

Knocking is usually a failing compressor from what I've come across. Bearing is a squealing or scraping noise whether the clutch is engaged or not. There's a lot of YouTube videos on A/C sounds.

Knocking could be bearing, my compressor knocked when my bearing lost half of its ball bearings. I tried to replace the clutch but the bearing was so bad it wore down the "snout" of the compressor. I bought a denso compressor off Amazon and I have a new Toyota clutch kit on my shelf if anyone is interested, but if the compressor is knocking a new clutch probably won't help.

The clutch assembly isn't too far off the price of a new compressor. The bearing's only about $20 on Amazon.
