A/C Compressor Pulley Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Install the inner wheel of the pulley using a plastic hammer and SST (49 B018 003) to the compressor.
CAUTION:
- If the SST is not properly positioned when the A/C compressor pulley is press-fit, the A/C compressor axle will interfere with the SST, possibly damaging component parts. Verify that the SST and axle are properly positioned and perform the procedure very carefully.
