Subaru Forester ej25 compressor clutch replacement. (Part 1)
Переглядів 13 тис.3 роки тому
just a quick video to help you guys out because the dealer or the shops are probably going to want to sell you a whole compressor. but you can just get away with changing the clutch and the pulley.
Thank you for sharing
Where do you buy new clutch and serpentine pulley?
I Ordered mine off amazon but no longer have the link.
My compressor is running constant. Doesnt stop turning, the ac comp. even if i turn AC off.
You need a gap in it 0.6is the max I think.
The clutch plate won’t push on the splines look perfect …. The old clutch plate was a bugger coming off. Can this just be hammered on?
It should slide on most of the way by hand. Try putting some lubricant on the splines.
Hi friend, I know I’m three years late, but how did you get the belt off without removing the alternator belt and taking the fan shroud out to have more tensioner room? Thank you!
Easy!! A knife 😂 But seriously ratchet wrenches are a big help to sneak in there.
Brother prying on it and moving the whole block 😭
You can't be gentle with these cars, they respond well to abuse.
Where do you get just the clutch/wheel?
Amazon used to sell a kit.
My Subaru clutch coil failed which is why I wanted to watch this video. So half thanks for putting this up. BTW, Subaru coils are known to fail.
Glad it helped, halfway haha! Funny I never had to change one maby I'm just lucky. Anyways thanks for watching and good luck with your subaru.

This repair seems to have fixed my "noisy when engaged" and "only partially blowing cool air when it's hot" issues. I ended up using none of the spacers provided in the new kit and seem to have good engagement and spinning. The original clutch had 2 spacer washers on it so I'm a little surprised. Do yourself a favor and buy better spring clip tools than the $5 husky ones at Walmart. The spring clips were a bear for me to get on/off even with the tool. Removing the washers without taking the whole thing apart again at the end after I tested it was also a bear. I had to use a dental pick to reach inside and try to pull them off the threading. Turns out it likes zero washers and it doesn't even make a scraping sound at all like his did.
Mine has been making noise all week and I just assumed it was the power steering pump. After replacing an O ring and return line clamp for the pump I realized the noise was actually coming from the AC pulley. At least the AC belt is dedicated only to the AC system and can be removed without affecting anything else. I used to think my old Grand Cherokee was garbage until I started driving an 06 Forester with the 2.5, at least I don't have to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Yeah they are full of financial surprises to say the least I'm glad I sold mine.
Very nice
Can’t seem to get the spring clip off, there is zero space for me to wedge something in there !
It's a tight fit for sure I used a small straight pick once I got one side up and walked it out.
It's rough even with spring clip pliers. They're deep in there and flush.
Great video. Thanks
It would have helped to show just how you got the clutch magnet off. Instead of a jump cut
I tried to set the camera on somthing but it kept falling.
@@ttech5212 how exactly did you get it off?
@MONEY MAN I put a prybar on either side and just pried evenly and sort of walked it off
Thank you for this! and for your HELP!... I have the 73110SA000 (506021-6433) unit. I see some clutch & pulley units avail on eBay but says for 73111-SA010 73111SA010 73111fg001 506021-7572 5060217572 but also says fits all units 2003-2007 SUBARU FORESTER 4 CYL 2.5L 4 GROOVE DKV14G COMPRESSOR manu'd prior to 1-1-2007. do you have a link to where you purchased your kit? and will I be okay with this one?
Glad this helped I'll check the part number when I'm home tonight.
I checked my Amazon but there's no history that far back so I can't verify the part #'s
@@ttech5212 darn... I wish you had it.... if you ever figure it out, please let me know...tnx
There's certain gap the clutch is supposed to be set at at. The metal noise and "grinding it down" is not normal....
You are absolutely correct there's also special tools and shop manuals available. But this is how I do it In the back yard. By no means is this the textbook way of doing it. How ever it is still working today making no noise and with a really quiet engagement everytime the compressor kicks in. I appreciate the concern and comment have a great day.
Thank you for this video. I have to do the same repair on my 2007 Forester. This helped immensely.
Glad to help sometimes Subaru ownership can be a DIY commitment 😀
