Replacing air conditioning bearing in 1993 truck

[RTRAM]

I have had the truck since new and I believe the bearing on the air conditioner is going bad. How hard is it to replace it? Does anyone have the part number? Do I need any special tools? Since I am in there, how hard is it to replace the fan bear8ng? Thanks

I don't know if the clutch is available. I did a small search and didn't find one but the make of the compressor might help. Some of the clutch bearings are crimped in and really not replaceable. Some are held in by snap ring. Special tools would be metric socket to remove nut holding clutch plat in place. Next would be pretty good sized external snap ring pliers, 90 Deg angle would be desirable. If the bearing is held in the pulley by snap ring, internal snap ring pliers and if you remove the coil, snap ring pliers. Sometimes the clutch plate will come off easy as with the pulley bearing but sometimes a puller is needed. bg
