A/C Compressor Clutch Seal Replacement

the Original Air video shows you just enough to be dangerous...fails to mention marking rod caps so they go back together the same way....putting pump rotor back the same way it came out...completely screws up the description of how the oiling system works...doesn't address crank, front bearing or seal etc etc....
 
Thanks for giving us that vid link, but he never showed any rod or oil rotor wear, the reed valves were fine, and I guess his point is what to look for during disassembly not knowing what would be the condition of that core. But the most important, difficult and frequent repair is the damn ceramic seal and he never mentioned or touched that. Strange.

So you're still being punished! :rofl: No, seriously....thanks for finding that vid.
 
think OA did that video not to actually show anyone how to rebuild their own...but more of a " pay us to rebuild yours ,they're complicated but we know what we're doing " or," before you pay to ship us a boat anchor, here's how to tell if it stands a chance of being a rebuildable core"

Good point. OA doesn't really want to help "us" rebuild our own compressor. This was a promotional vid for business.

However, they could have really terrified us with talk about properly installing the two types of RV2 ceramic seals.
