Clutch Coil: Installation
- Ensure clutch coil mounting surface is clean. Place clutch coil over compressor nose opening with clutch coil electrical connector correctly positioned. Position appropriate clutch coil installing adapter over compressor nose opening and inner radius of clutch coil.
- Position forcing screw of puller on center of installing adapter. Position jaws of puller on rear side of compressor front mounts and tighten forcing screw. Ensure clutch coil bottoms against front head of compressor all around clutch coil outer diameter.
- Install pulley assembly. Install snap ring with bevel side of snap ring facing out. Install shim(s) and clutch plate. Install a new clutch plate bolt and tighten to 97-123 INCH lbs. (11-14 N.m).
- On Nissan Quest, install dial indicator at clutch plate and set to zero. Energize clutch coil and measure air gap between clutch plate and pulley. Air gap should be 0.020-0.033" (0.45-0.85 mm).
- On Mazda, use a feeler gauge to check air gap between clutch plate and pulley at 3 places around pulley. Ensure air gap is 0.014-0.033" (0.35-0.84 mm). On all models, if air gap is incorrect, add or remove shims as necessary.
