(7) Install the clutch plate with the driver (Special
Tool C-6463) (Fig. 28). Install the shaft hex nut and
tighten to 14.4 N·m (10.5 ft. lbs.).

(8) Check the clutch air gap with a feeler gauge
(Fig. 29). If the air gap does not meet the specifica-
tion, add or subtract shims as required. The air gap
specification is 0.41 to 0.79 millimeter (0.016 to 0.031
inch). If the air gap is not consistent around the cir-
cumference of the clutch, lightly pry up at the mini-
mum variations. Lightly tap down at the points of
maximum variation.
NOTE: The air gap is determined by the spacer
shims. When installing an original, or a new clutch
assembly, try the original shims first. When install-
ing a new clutch onto a compressor that previously

did not have a clutch, use 1.0, 0.50, and 0.13 milli-
meter (0.040, 0.020, and 0.005 inch) shims from the
clutch hardware package that is provided with the
new clutch.
(9) Reverse the remaining removal procedures to
complete the installation.

CLUTCH BREAK-IN

After a new compressor clutch has been installed,
cycle the compressor clutch approximately twenty
times (five seconds on, then five seconds off). During
this procedure, set the heater-A/C control to the
Recirculation Mode, the blower motor switch in the
highest speed position, and the engine speed at 1500
to 2000 rpm. This procedure (burnishing) will seat
the opposing friction surfaces and provide a higher
compressor clutch torque capability.

COMPRESSOR CLUTCH RELAY

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the cover from the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) (Fig. 30).
(3) Refer to the label on the PDC for compressor
clutch relay identification and location.
(4) Unplug the compressor clutch relay from the
PDC.
(5) Install the compressor clutch relay by aligning
the relay terminals with the cavities in the PDC and
pushing the relay firmly into place.
(6) Install the PDC cover.
(7) Connect the battery negative cable.
(8) Test the relay operation.
