Anyone try replacing the pulley bearing on an AC compressor? Mines making noise, gets a little quieter when engaged.

Sometimes you can replace just the clutch. I chased down that rabbit hole for a while... nothing was available for my compressor.

If your referring to the clutch bearing it's a pretty simple replacement having done it a few times.
Fortunately it's just a generic sealed roller bearing.

Better question. Can I pull the clutch off without removing the compressor?
Haven't really looked at it yet.

Maybe because mine's '06, but that's not the right bearing. That one is 55mm, 35mm, 20mm.
Mine is 52, 30, 22.
How difficult is this to r&r? Any special tools needed for pulley and bearing? Did you source bearing from Napa?
I'm not sure exactly if this is my issue, but when ac clutch is engaged I get some noise.
That bearing does not turn when the clutch is engaged (AC on). That bearing spins when the AC is off and the pulley is spinning but the compressor is not.
If you have noise with the AC on, it's the compressor, or possibly a slipping clutch.

Not hard. I might have used a small bench press, but you shouldn't need one. A large socket will work and/or throw it in the freezer.
I got the NSK bearing from Amazon.
