3. Install the compressor clutch plate.




Important: Make certain that the drive plate does not drag against the pulley when the pulley is rotated.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

5. Make certain that the new drive plate bolt has colored adhesive on at least 5 threads. Install the clutch drive plate bolt. Use the J 37872 to hold the compressor clutch plate from turning.
