I've only had my Sanden SD7H15 for 2 years now but unfortunately the compressor clutch bearing is starting to go and is letting me know this with really awful squealing until it has warmed up. Its Winter now so I just removed the belt but im starting to do my research on how I will accomplish this repair and the first thing on my mind is wonderinf if anyone can vouch for the fact that it can be done on an installed compressor? I'd really rather not has to go through all the AC refrigerant process again over this just to remove it from the car, but when summertime comes-- Ill do anything for that cold air.
So, can anyone vouch for the ability to even do this on a compressor that is still installed onto the engine?
