a/c compressor clutch - 2002 Blazer
Does anyone know how to change the clutch for the a/c compressor on a 2002 blazer? I rented the spanner wrench, but there doesn't appear to be a nut in the center of the clutch. It appears to be a round clip. How do I remove this round clip? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks.

You remove it with a clip remover, looks sorta like pliers with pins attached, or carefully pry out with a thin blade screwdriver.
You dont really need that spanner until you install.
You need a clutch removal/installer puller set too.
search google and youtube, plenty of directions
* The reason the nut is redundant is that the clutch itself is pressed on to a certain clearance from the pulley.. about .025"
The nut being on the outside helps nothing there. When the clutch is engaged and compressor running it's held TO the pulley which is in turn captive of the above clip. When not engaged, it's not turning so there's no impetus for it to back away.
