GENERAL PROCEDURES
Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch Air Gap Adjustment
1. Check the A/C clutch air gap at three equally- spaced places between the A/C clutch hub (2884)
and the A/C clutch pulley (2E884).
2. Remove the A/C clutch. Add or remove spacers between the A/C clutch and the compressor shaft until clearance is within specification. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 03 .
