Q: How to Properly Service and Replace the A/C Clutch on Buick LaCrosse?
A: You must remove the accessory Drive Belt from both the A/C Compressor and the lower air deflector before performing removal of the compressor clutch assembly. Important: for the j 37872 (Compressor Clutch Holding Tool) replace the three adjust d dowels with three 5/16x1 inch bolts. The j 37872 (Compressor Clutch Holding Tool) holds the compressor clutch plate stationary while the bolt is discarded before clutch plate removal. Use j 6083 (Snap Ring Pliers) to remove the compressor pulley snap ring then remove the compressor pulley from the compressor before performing the same sequence for the compressor clutch coil snap ring and coil. Before compressor clutch plate bolt installation you must tap its threads with an m6x1.0 tap before blowing out any debris with compressed air. The installation of the compressor clutch coil and its snap ring should be performed with the j 6083 (Snap Ring Pliers) while subsequent installation of the compressor pulley and its snap ring requires the same tool (J 6083 (Snap Ring Pliers)). Place a small amount of oil on the 0.4 mm (0.016 in) air gap shim before setting it inside the clutch drive plate while you install the compressor clutch plate. Important: make sure the drive plate avoids contact with the pulley when you rotate it. Adjust the shims to create a 0.3 to 0.6 mm (0.012 to 0.024 in) air gap by measuring the spacings between the pulley and drive plate. Important: new drive plate bolts must contain colored adhesive for five threads before final installation. Notice: fastener notice applies. Each compressor clutch drive plate bolt installation requires the use of the j 37872 (Compressor Clutch Holding Tool) to prevent clutch plate movement before securing the bolt at 12 n.m (106 lb in). To complete the procedure reinstall the lower air deflector followed by installing the accessory Drive Belt to the A/C Compressor then conduct a leak test on all fittings using the j 39400-a (Halogen Leak Detector).
