We are replacing the A/C Compressor Pulley and clutch because it started making a terrible grinding noise when it would activate. This kit we bought was about $45 and seems to be like OEM style.
We have very limited tools and are just two people trying to fix a problem themselves, we aren’t professionals.

Does this work on all EJ255 WRX engines?
Do you mind giving me the part number please.
I have an impreza 1.6 1998
The whole time I was thinking "Mine came with rings and spacers " lol
This video is something else… a comedy of errors… looks like you guys need to watch a video… I learned more from the many mistakes, than any info I would duplicate… I am impressed that a man and a woman could work on a car together…
I watched this in horror.
When you do the job make sure you have snapring pliers, a magnet, a pulley puller, and feeler gauges. Keep the magnet near the snaprings when installing to avoid them flying away.
Strongly suggesting watching this one instead, he doesn't break anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFC5jMhUm4s
My brain hurts.
i guess seeing how people fuck up will help you not fuck up like that
How is it holding up? I've been following along and fixing my own compressor.
If you need spacers to reassemble the clutch I'm guessing your bearings weren't actually seated all the way and the snap ring wasn't locked in all the way around. I had to check and beat on the pulley a few times to get the bearings to clear the slot for the snap ring. The center was sticking out slightly past the pulley. No issues with clearance on reassembly after that.
the number on the bolts is a torque reference for each bolt. they are torqued to diff pounds and can be found in the manual
This was hilarious and also all the information I needed to do the job with confidence (and saved me like $750) Thanks!
Hi. Does replacing the clutch solved the problem (noise)?
That’s a serpentine belt. Not timing right ?
Great video,
12:04 you should have transferred the clip from the old connector to the new one.
omg….thanks for this.
Hi! Where did you guys the pulley from? Can you share the link?
Hey guys, They do make a fairly inexpensive clutch removal kit and if you got some snap ring pliers next time would be little easier just some helpful hints from an old mechanic,
are you markiplier's long lost cousin?
Is this a STI or regular wrx? My a/c was also making a sound and now its gotten to the point where my a/c doesn’t even cool when on most the time and im fairly certain is just the clutch, not the whole compressor, that needs replacing. When I turn on my ac the clutch doesn’t even spin which is why it doesn’t cool obviously. Im having a hard time finding a clutch wrx, most im finding are for the sti.
Officially subbed! By the way what year is your EJ255 wrx? Will this fit on 2013 wrx hatch? Cause i wanna make sure i get the right AC compressor pulley and clutch.I will follow your video as a guide, Thanks!
hi from the philippines, have the same issues my 2010 forester xt ac compressor making noise like screeching electricty, does this solve the problem? already order btw
Great video
Thanks
Numbers on th bolt means physical characteristics of the metal the bolt made of. Its needed to get proper momentum to torque it
Thanks for the video because according to the factory service manual it look like this part is not replaceable. Now how did you know the noise was not from compressor?
