Compresser clutch bearing, searched

My belt has recently started squealing. I have narrowed it down to be the ac compressor's bearing. I have been searching for a good while on hear and can't find out how to go about doing this, and if I'm gonna need any special tools. How do I go about taking off the clutch and putting in new bearings? Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

Are you sure? There are also two idler pullys next to the compressor, and both bolt to the compressor bracket. This means that any one of the three can sound like a bad compressor clutch bearing, unless you do a little work to narrow it down.

I'd take the belt off and turn each pully by hand to check. As I recall, the upper idler takes a Timken 203FF bearing ($5 or so and a vise to change,) the lower bearing is built into the bracket (must be replaced as a unit - about $60 OEMR.) Both are easier, of course, than changing the compressor clutch. Probably both cheaper, too.

If you are shure is the comp bearing you will need a clutch puller (about $15.00) and a clip remover plier. You will find the bearing at: http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductList.aspx?parttype=450&ptset=A&searchfor=Clutch+Bearings

I have not taken the belt off but I am pretty positive its my compressor bearing. I moved the compressor clutch while the car was off and you could distinctly hear the squeak coming from the it. I appreciate the help tho. Should I be able to get those tools at advance auto. I already found the bearings there.
