2002 EX A/C compressor clutch [solved]

Hi All,
Seeing if its possible to change out the A/C clutch with the compressor still hooked up in the car. Anyone done it? I need to change it due to the noise coming from it and visual inspection revealing the pulley "wobbling".

I've always liked this video on removing a shim on the compressor shaft to repair my A/C for cheap when the clutch wasn't engaging. It will show how to access and replace the clutch without removing compressor from car. Skip to about 14 minutes in the video...

Yes it was possible to replace the clutch without moving the compressor. Thanks for the support on this.
Now the clutch will not engage. I suppose it has to do with the original shim being worn?
THANKS,
