There have been a couple threads dealing with the air conditioning compressor failing, but I can't find one where someone just replaced the clutch.

I'm getting a clicking noise from the compressor whenever the AC is engaged. The AC is working fine, so I believe it's just the clutch. It seems the clutch is about a $50 part.

That is a really tight space, so unfortunately, it would seem you have to remove the compressor to replace the clutch.

Anyone replaced just the clutch? Is it possible to do in place? Is the clutch even available as a repair part? I'm not seeing a listing for it on the Ford Parts site.

thx
