How to service and repair the A/C Clutch on GMC Safari?

Start compressor clutch servicing and repair by taking the compressor out of the vehicle then fixing it in a vise with the compressor holding fixture (J 41790). Secure the compressor onto the holding fixture through both thumb screws. Extract the clutch hub shaft protector while maintaining performance of the clutch hub or shaft to prevent internal damage during removal. The clutch plate and hub assembly installer-remover j 33013-b should have its forcing tip flat when in use to prevent damage to shaft/axial plate assembly components. Insert the j 33013-b tool into the hub before using a wrench to secure the remover body. Turn the central screw to disassemble the clutch plate and hub assembly. Keep the shaft key aside for reuse during reassembly and remove both the clutch plate and hub assembly. Put the shaft key in the hub key groove so it extends 3.2 mm (0.125 inches) past the keyway for installation. To install the compressor shaft placement requires washing both the clutch plate and clutch rotor followed by alignment of the shaft key with the keyway. Then place the assembly on the compressor shaft. Use the j 33013-b forcing tip to set up the center screw thread while using a wrench for support before installing the screw onto the compressor shaft end. Apply pressure through the hex portion of the j 33013-b body to mount the hub onto the shaft keeping 3.81-51 mm (0.15-0.20 in) space between clutch plate and clutch rotor frictional surfaces. Perform a clearance test in three locations before using the tool to remove the installer while keeping the shaft key proper. Write down the shaft key position relative to clutch hub alignment and check it sits at or just above the center line. Next confirm that pulley rotor rotation does not cause friction between clutch drive plate surfaces. To finish the installation install the shaft protector to the clutch hub shaft before taking both thumb screws off the compressor holding fixture (J 41790). Pull the fixture from the vise to reinstall the compressor to the vehicle.
