hello to the brickboard, I have an 88 240 that had functioning air conditioning
until a recent extreme heatwave in which the compressor clutch stopped engaging. I've done the electrical tests -12 volts directly to the clutch, still no movement- and figure it to be a burned out clutch.
Ive read that the clutch comes off easily on the york comp (mid 80's)with an oversize bolt thru the pully
but im not sure of the make of my compressor -they seem to be common on the later 80's 240 and i've seen a number of them on the volvos in the junkyard
and i cant figure the best way to pull the clutch off
Is there an oversize bolt method or should i devise somekind of puller with 'fingers' like a universal puller (which i havent been able to find in auto parts shops) I have only gotten as far as taking the center bolt out
and would like to try a junkyard clutch befor resorting to replacing the whole compressor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks
