Hey guys, I just joined the forum, I figure it'll help me out with any questions about the little **** breaking on my Exploder.

Earlier today I turned my A/C on for the first time since like last year. It blew nothing but hot air and never cooled off. I just turned it off and took a nap. Then I left for work a couple of hours later, this time it blew ice cold air. After work when I cranked it up, there was a ticking sound from under the hood when the A/C was not on, but when it was on, the ticking went away. I popped the hood, and the piece on the compressor pulley, I think the clutch (round piece with 3 pegs sticking through the plate) was rattling like it was loose.

What kinda repair am I looking at?
 






I just got the front plate off of the clutch, and wow, the bearing is all jacked up . Whats the deal on replacing a bearing? Or do I have to replace more than just that?
