yeah i figured that out,.. now can i use a clutch holding tool for the three holes, and just tighten the nut in the midlle decreasing the air gap...

NO
you have to remove the clutch hub then remove shims

I sometimes use big channel-locks to hold the plate still

i seee.... picture makes it clear
.. where do i find a tool to pull it out.. autozone rental sucks...

how many shims are there?

there is tool that fits in those three holes and makes it easy.... to unscrew the bolt.

No pullers.

Remove center nut (or bolt) and hub slides right out by hand.


Shims vary, numbers and thicknesses. How many are in there depends on what was needed during the original clutch gap setup to obtain the desired gap.
Most have one or two, some might have none.

i should have measured that first.. instead chase wires)how the hell do you hold it with channel locks

 
Rep Power: 518

I've got LARGE ones that can hold the hub.

can i use air gun to zip it out, and zip it back in.. ? or it needs to be torqued gently?

You can zip it apart but reassemble by hand. Torque is low, like maybe 13 ft-lb for the nut.

You don't want to pull the trigger on the air gun and snap the compressor shaft off.

its all fixed .. i taught i let you know.. there was one shim.. i took it out.. put it back .. reameasured air gap, it was within tolerance.. i got working ac , blowing cold ready for the summer... i should have measured that first instead chasing wires.. the one wire that was exposed made me think it was wiring issue.. but i did at least isolate that now too..
