2009 LX 1.8L - A/C Compressor replacement

Last summer my A/C went out - I posted about it here: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/1...-c-issues.html.
Shout-out to ezone for all his help.

I still have not repaired this problem, but am looking to finally do the repair in the next couple of weeks. With the help of a master tech friend, I have determined it is the clutch on the compressor that has stopped working. I have purchased a new compressor and will be swapping them out, but am not satisfied with the few tutorials I've found online - can anyone recommend a good guide or video?

Thanks all

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

In that thread I guessed the clutch air gap was too large, but you never posted back with what exactly you found wrong.


If I was correct, you might be able to remove a shim from the clutch to decrease the gap and restore clutch operation again (FREE)

Not an helpful how-to-do step-by-step article, rather a help me thread.
Moving out of the DIY section.
