I've done a few searches, but can't the answer I am looking for. A few days ago I started hearing very strange noises under the hood. I tracked it down to the A/C commpresser pulley. Sounds like the bearings a shot. Anyway, the Jeep was driven yesterday and the pully started smoking badly and it smelled aweful. My question is where can I find a replacement pulley? I can't find a source anywhere so a can use all the help you can give.

Thanks,
Robb

OK, I've checked at every auto parts store in the area, and online...I can't find just the clutch/pulley assembly anywhere. I may have to buy the whole compressor. In the meantime, is it possible to buy a belt made for a '98 w/o ac and bypass the ac pulley until I find what I need?
Thanks for the help

You need to go to napa, not everything they have is online, if they can't get it they will know where you can.

Alrighty, I called NAPA they didn't have it or know where to get one. I guess I'll drive down and talk to some one.
Thanks,

Robb

Still no luck,
I tried to order this part

http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=EVP&mfrpartnumber=1214&parttype=385&ptset=A

from partsamerican.com but now they are telling me the clutch is N/A. Does anyone has a clue as to where I can pick one up? I'm at a total loss

Thanks again.


Oh,I went to two Napa shops near me, neither had or knew where to et this part. Maybe I've just got incompetent parts dealers around here.

Try just getting new bearings from a local bearing house.

Sheesh !!! you can get a new compressor w/clutch @ www.rockauto.com for the price of that clutch.
X@ what Langer said, find out what compressor you have and you get the bearing size from that, then just replace the bearing(s)
