Well, here I go again...the alternator belt disintegrated and took out the serpentine belt. I have it torn down to access the compressor, which will come out tomorrow. The clutch bearing feels mighty rough. Everything else turns smoothly. I'm gonna try to fix it without disconnecting the refrigerant lines as I just charged the system earlier this summer. I've been doing some searching and found Steve's source for a new clutch bearing (at least I think I can find it again!). In the somewhat unlikely event that the clutch itself is shot, does anyone have a source? So far it's been a fairly routine job. Only the hidden bolt for the coolant hard line gave me a little fit, as I first tried to remove it from the wrong side. Sometimes I can't get 50/50 right half the time!
