Can a Air Condition compressor bearing....

[Samo]

Be changed....
Good Friday morning all
My air condition bearing cap out..in traffic...in 1pm sun...
Can this bearing be changed,if so how long will it last does it make sense
Or change the whole unit Which is quite costly...but if i gotta do it ,i got too do it

Thanks 2nrs...

i had to change mine..and the price that everything was addin up 2..might as well buy a new unit...the avg. price for a new bearing is 200+..labour and stuff..well over 500.00

[Dragonaire]

^^Where you got the Bearing?

[Samo]

hmm....ok....i see wat u sayin...

now where to find a unit for a ck4 ..how it might cost

The time when I had to change the a/c bearing in my Mitsu CK lancer, I ended up spending somewhere around $700 by Ryanair on Cane Farm Road in Tacarigua.

check bamboo
last time i was there they had them

where i got the bearing(i called those big a/c companies in the yellow pages
but u also need the bearing number eh) which means u haddda take off the old oneSamo,
i hav a busted CK2 4g15 a/c compressor at home rite now..the bearing sems to be pretty ok..if u want..come take it and try ur luck...

[Samo]

X_Factor,will it work for the CK4....4g92

[Samo]

well i changed it..the whole compressor....
but one thing...the pulley is a little bigger...the guy says it was from a newer mitsu.
My question 2nrs is if anything bad will happen....or what will happen

Cuz rite now it working great...

[X_Factor]

if the pulley is a little bigger the most i think is that the belt MAY be under a little more strain...which MAY cause it to probably burst?

[Samo]

X_Factor,i forgot to mention,i CHANGED the belt...so i HOPE it dont burst....

[venum]

it sounding like it sort out there

monitor and see

check for belt damage regularly

check for belt damage regularly

[Samo]

well always check.....as everyday i open my bonnet
Thanks 2nrs

bigger pulley means more turning to make the same amount of revs
using physics this would mean the engine needs to put a little more power to turn the compressor the same speed as before

[5fwd]

a bigger pulley would mean the force required to turn the ac unit would be less, although the compressor would spin slower than before at the same rpm, the power it takes away from the engine would be a little less...if its is anything u should get a little more power to the wheels, but ur ac might take a little longer to drop the temp of the car...isn't the belt tensioned separately? if so then as long as the belt tension is the same it should not burst the belt...the tension required in the belt would be less if the compressor pulley is bigger..on the other hand if the ac pulley was smaller than original then the tension required to turn it would be higher that the original tension (with the old pulley).

[Samo]

Oh Hor....i noticed a drop in power in the engine,but the ac cools grt.
the belt is tensioned good.got it check over by my mechanic..
i still have the old compressor.....shud i change the pulley...

[5fwd]

if it working good...use it so for the while...

[Samo]

Koooll....
