1. INSTALL MAGNET CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
(a) Install the magnet clutch stator with the parts shown in the illustration matched.
(b) Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring with the chamfered side facing up.
(c) Connect the connector.
(d) Using SST, install the magnet clutch rotor and a new snap ring with the chamfered side facing up.
NOTICE:
Do not damage the seal cover of the bearing when installing the snap ring.
(e) Install the compressor spacer and magnet clutch hub.
NOTICE:
Do not change the combination of the compressor spacer used before disassembly.
(f) Using SST, hold the magnet clutch hub and install the bolt.
SST : 09985-00260
Torque : 18 Nm (184 kgf-cm, 13 ft-lbf)
NOTICE:
Make sure that there is no foreign matter or oil on the compressor shaft, bolt, and clutch hub.
2. INSTALL COOLER BRACKET
(a) Install the cooler bracket with the screw.
3. INSPECT MAGNET CLUTCH CLEARANCE
(a) Clamp the cooler compressor in a vise.
(b) Set the dial indicator to the magnet clutch hub.
(c) Connect the battery positive lead to terminal 3 (MG+) of the magnet clutch connector and the negative lead to the ground wire. Turn the magnet clutch on and off and measure the clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.35 to 0.60 mm (0.014 to 0.024 in.)
If the measured value is not within the standard clearance, remove the magnet clutch hub and adjust the clearance using compressor spacer to obtain the standard clearance.
Compressor spacer thickness:
0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
0.5 mm (0.020 in.)
NOTICE:
Adjustment should be performed with 3 or less magnet clutch washers.
