compressor clutch bearing noise....
Hello all -- just joined the forum, hoping to find info on how to tackle the bearing noise coming from the a/c compressor clutch on my '98 GXE. Maybe this is addressed elsewhere, but I haven't figured out how to search the forum, it keeps telling me I don't have access to that.
The bearing noise is intermittent. Some days it does it, then will go for days without any sound. It sounds like a ball-bearing spinning while it's dry. Turning the a/c on and off has no effect on the sound.
My best guess is the compressor clutch bearing.
Is there a way to change that bearing without removing the compressor from the car? I'm hoping to avoid dealing with the refrigerant.
Thanks for any insights/advice.
