Clutch Rotor and Bearing Assembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Suzuki Verona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Do not support the rotor by resting the pulley rim on a flat surface during the bearing installation or the rotor face could be damaged.
  1. Invert the pulley rotor and place it on a support block to fully support the rotor hub during bearing installation.
  2. Align the new bearing squarely in the pulley bore. Use the bearing installer J-9481 and the driver handle J-8092, drive the bearing fully into the pulley bore.

  3. Place the bearing staking guide J-33019-1 and the bearing staking pin J-33019-2 in the rotor hub core. Shift the rotor and bearing assembly on the block to give full support to the hub under the staking pin. A heavy-duty rubber band may be used to hold the staking tool pin in the guide. The pin should be properly positioned in the guide after each impact on the pin.

  4. Strike the pin with a hammer until a metal stake, similar to the original, is formed down to, but not touching, the bearing. The metal stake should not contact the outer race of the bearing to avoid the possibility of distorting the outer race. Stake in 3 places 120° apart.
    WARNING: When striking the pin with a hammer, take care to avoid personal injury.

  5. With the compressor mounted to the holding fixture J-34992, position the rotor and bearing assembly on the compressor housing.
  6. Position the pulley rotor and bearing installer J-33017 and the puller pilot J-33023-A directly over the inner race of the bearing.
  7. Position the puller crossbar J-8433-1 center forcing bolt on the puller pilot J-33023-A and assemble the 2 through-bolts and the washers through the slots on the puller crossbar J-8433-1. Thread the through-bolts into the holding fixture J-34992. The thread of the through-bolts should engage the full thickness of the fixture.
  8. Tighten the center forcing screw J-8433-3 in the puller crossbar J-8433-1 to force the pulley rotor and bearing assembly onto the compressor housing.
