    I need to change the pulley out on the A/C compressor. The A/C works great so there isn't a need to change the whole compressor. The pulley is making a lot of racket though and I'm sick of listening to it. Anyone know how to disassemble the pulley with the compressor in place. I'm having trouble getting it off and I don't want to tear anything up just in case it doesn't need replacing. What's a good detailed maintainence manual? Hayne's is too vague for my liking and doesn't have everything in it.

    after further checking the taco compressor pulleys are external so there is no compressor seal to worry about or anything so its a simple slide on slide off fit.

    use the clutch to help hold it while you remove the center bolt then take off the snap ring that holds it on and from the back side tap on the pully as you continue to rotate it so it comes of evenly.

    there are youtube videos that show how to do a good many things like this
