Inspection and Repair
Drive Plate
If the frictional surface shows signs of damage due to
excessive heat, the drive plate and pulley should be
replaced.
Pulley Assembly
Check the appearance of the pulley assembly. If the
frictional surface of the pulley shows signs of excessive
grooving due to slippage, both the pulley and drive
plate should be replaced. The frictional surfaces of the
pulley assembly should be cleaned with a suitable
solvent before reinstallation.
Coil
Check coil for loose connector or cracked insulation.
Installation
1. Install field coil.
Align the located portion (1) of the field coil and
compressor.
Tighten the mounting screw to the specified torque.
Torque: 5Nꞏm (44 lb in)
2. Connect the lead wire connector with the rubber
hold and tighten the screw.3. Install pulley assembly by using pulley installer
J-33940-A (2) and drive handle J-8092 (1).
4. Install snap ring.
5. Install shim(s).
6. Install the drive plate to the compressor drive shaft
together with the original shim(s)(1). Press the drive
plate by hand.

7. Install drive plate bolt by using drive plate holder
J-7624 (1) to prevent the drive plate from rotating.
Tighten the drive plate bolt to the specified torque.
Torque: 13 Nꞏm (113 lb in)
After tightening the drive plate bolt, check to be
sure the pulley rotates smoothly.
Check to be sure that the clutch clearance is
between 0.3-0.6 mm (0.01-0.02 in.)
If necessary, install adjusting shim(s).
Adjusting shims are available in the following
thickness.
Thickness
0.1 mm (0.0039 in.)
0.3 mm (0.0118 in.)
0.5 mm (0.0197 in.)

6. Loosen three screws and remove the field coil.
7. Remove snap ring by using snap ring pliers.8. Remove shaft seal assembly (2) by using shaft seal
remover J-33942 (1).
Engage the remover hook with the shaft seal
assembly groove and slowly draw the shaft seal
assembly out.
NOTE
The shaft seal is precision-machined and its
critical parts are finished to extremely close
tolerances. The assembly must be handled
with great care, it slips face demanding
particularly careful handling.
The shaft seal can not be reused. Install a new
shaft seal at reassembly.
Take care not to scratch or otherwise damage
the shaft seal face.
Keep the shaft seal free from lint and dirt.
9. Remove through bolt.
