How do I hotwire AC clutch for removal? 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be newvolvoowner on  Thu Jul 17 16:13 CST 2003 [RELATED]

1987 760 turbo, 150K w. orig kiki AC --
I need to remove my AC clutch. Recent posts have mentioned putting 12V to the clutch in order to lock it up so the center bolt can be removed. My question: how do I do this?
Is there a connector up on the accumulator or thereabouts that I put 12V into?

The clutch is slipping, and the compressor turns freely w no binding
When I get the clutch off, I'll first see if there s a way to adjust the clutch, then
failiing that I can always buy a new clutch, or pull one. Isnt there a spacer/washer
that the factory uses to set the clutch clearance when new, and can that spacer
be taken out to tighten up the clearances to keep the clutch from slipping?

Any help is appreciated. It is hot here in Silicon Valley, CA
I need to find a good AC shop in the Bay Area,
(south san jose up to redwood city, or across the bay around fremont)
