*How to use the backprobe setsConnect the backprobe adapters to the stacking patch cords, andconnect the cords to a multimeter. Using the wire insulation as aguide for the contoured tip of the backprobe adapter, gently slidethe tip into the connector from the wire side until it comes in con-tact with the terminal end ofthe wire {see section 11}.

Clutch InsPection
Check the plated parts of the armature plate for color
changes, peeling or other damage lf there is dam-
age. replace the clutch set.
Check the rotor pulley bearing play and drag by rotat-
ing the rotor pulley by hand Replace the clutch set
with a new one if it is noisy or has excessive play/drag
Measure the clearance between the rotor pulley and
the armature plate all the way around lf the clear-
ance is not within specified limits, the armature plate
must be removed and shims added or removed as
required, following the procedure on page 22-34
Cl€arance: 0.5 ! 0.15 mm {0.020 t 0.006 in)
NOTE: The shims are available in four thicknesses:
0.1 mm,0.2 mm,0.4 mm and 0.5 mm
. Release the field coil connector from the holder' then
disconnect it. Check the thermal protector for conti-
nuity. lf there is no continuity. replace the thermal
protecror,
NOTE: The thermal protector will have no continuity
above 251.6 to 262.4oF 1122lo 128'C). When the tem-
perature drops below 240 8 to 219.8"F (116 to 104"C),
the thermal protector will have continuity
. Check resistance of the field coil
Field Coil Resistance: 3.05 to 3.35 O at 68"F (20"C)
lf resistance is not within specifications, replace the
field coil.

5. Remove the screw from the field coil ground termi-
nal, then disconnect the field coil connector.
Remove snap ring A with snap ring pliers, then
remove the field coil
NOTE:
. Be careful not to damage the field coil and com-
pressor during remove/installation.
. Once snap ring A is removed, replace it with a
new one.
. When installing the field coil, align the boss on
the field coil with the hole in the compressor.
SNAP RING AReplace.
Position the rotor pulley squarely over the field coil.
Press the rotor pulley onto the compressor boss
with the special tool. lf the rotor pulley does not
press on straight, remove it, and check the rotor
pulley and compressor boss for burrs or damage.

. Clean the rotor pulley and compressor sliding
surfaces with non-petroleum solvent.
. Make sure the snap rings are fully seated in the

Replace the O-ring with a new one at the relief valve.and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil beforeinstalling it.
NOTE:
. To avoid contamination. do not return the oil tothe container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.o lmmediately after using the oil, replace the capon the container, and seal it to avoid moistureabsorption.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; itmay damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil con-tacts the paint, wash it off immediately.
