Fixed my daughter's 2015 Forester thanks to this video. It would be fine for a while, then the clutch would disengage and not engage again until after engine shut down. My guess is that the clutch gap expanded with temperature, then was OK after cooling off. Removing the skinniest shim seems to have fixed it. You can borrow a clutch holder tool for free at Auto Zone.

Amazed that this fixed my issue. Great post. I ended up using needle nose pliers to get the washer out after struggling to try to fish it out. Highly recommend that method if you have a pair

2024 and this still works exactly like I needed. Thanks!

What was the final gap

Do you have to torque the nut down to anything specific?

Wow dude What an amazing video. I just removed the medium size washer and the clutch doesn’t seem to slip anymore. Hopefully it fix that issue. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for posting this video! I have driven around a 2015 Subaru for 2 years with AC that didn’t work when the outside temperature is over 75 degrees, and I’ve taken the car to several mechanics who didn’t know how to fix it. Your video helped me to finally fix the problem, thank you very much for sharing!

It's an electromagnetic clutch, you definitely don't want to put lube on those.

I followed this exactly. Removed one shim. And my ac immediately went back to functioning. Great post!!

Your chain wrench idea is great ! (I'm buying one) Other ways to hold the clutch face need complicated tools.

This worked like a charm. Thank you for saving me a bunch of money and headache!

Dude excellent video, saved me thousands and didn't need to buy AC clutch too. Thank you!

I'm a huge fan of overly engineering things! So thus video was great!

Thiis is a how NOT TO Video.

Somebody please take away all this persons tools. No Riving knife, No gloves, No blade guard and you worried about Dust collection ? Get your priorities straight before they call you STUBBY. Did you ever hear of a Brake to bend sheet metal? There is also the angle iron method. the tool you are using is called a Hand Seamer and you are not using it correctly.. No gloves and razor sharp sheet metal. BRILLIANT! You excel ad working very hard to create an inefficient collector design when efficient collector designs already exist.

Thanks for the great video. I was worried that I would need to purchase tools. You are correct. No tools are needed.

And this is exactly the concept I want to do on my craftsman 113 saw

Mine will not come off

Thank you!! We were trying to pry before I found this video! Worked out great.

This guy does it right!

Can't pick up the feeler gauge clearance measurment

Greatest video..no more driving and sweating my ass off...any other tips?...

You've earned my utmost respect. Fixed a 2 year ordeal calculated at hundreds of dollars for only $15.99 at Harbor Freight. Thanks man.

That chain clamp is great idea

Thank you! 10 minutes and $16 to fix my 2015 Subaru Forester.

Wanted to drop a quick thank you!! $16 at Harbor Freight for feeler gauges and a chain clamp and my 2015 Forester is blowing cold air consistently again. Saved me a fortune on a new compressor.

It looks like crap

Very nice design and craftsmanship.

You are an artist … a craftsman …. Part of a dying breed. Thank you so much for the video.

Kale, nice sliced across the leaf like shredding and served in a mixed salad yumeee

Well done, I have wrestled with a dust catcher on my table saw ,your video gave me a new resolve. Thank you!

Like your railroad spike pop rivet finishing tool. I used to avoid using pop rivets b/c that mushroomed side is unsightly and takes up space. Thanks for that smart tip!

My Forester is from 2018. The identical A/C problem started a month ago (after 71000 km). Thank you very much for the top video and the very good solution proposal.

great video! do you know what the gap in the clutch should be?

thank you for the video dude... just fixed my jacked up a/c for $10. that's how much a chain clamp cost me at Harbor Freight. the gap was .8mm. removed 1 washer and now its ice cold non-stop...

Thanks for the tip man. How can you tell if the whole compressor has gone bad or just the clutch?

Very nice job! You’re so patient!

Just cut the vacuum head off and drill a round hole in the metal sheet

Excellent job!

Great “how to” video... You should have been an industrial arts teacher ... Can’t wait to see your next one!

Nice toaster! What brand of your silencers?
