965 - removing AC clutch *only* not compressor?

Post by sanfelice »

My clutch blades seem to have broken (rusted) off, so I need to replace it, but research on the FAQ shows it requires a special tool.

Any links or pics to which tool?

would this kit contain the tool?

That is the tool. depending on your ability, you may be able to make your own tool. You'll probably need to remove the compressor from it's mount, and work on it from underneath the car, after you've removed the center nut. Make sure you are gentle with the two giant A/C hoses, they are big money to replace!
