How do I hotwire AC clutch for removal? 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be newvolvoowner on  Thu Jul 17 21:06 CST 2003 [RELATED]

took the belt off and turned the compressor pulley by hand.
Yes, not the clutch pulley but the inner pulley thats connected directly to the compr.
I know the clutch is slipping because visually I could see
it slip- it would engage, then not turn at belt speed. Made a rattling noise at 2000rpm,
after a 90+mph run, the clutch smelled burnt. It was. The AC would blow cold, but
when the rpms got above 2000 rpm, the clutch would slip and the AC would blow warm.
When cold, it would engage just fine. but when hot, slip. So I removed the belt.
Its gonna be record temps this weekend...
