- sorry I'm not too in-depth about this stuff that's my first time really uploading a video so if you guys have any recommendations on how to create better content let me know.
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 😀
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great video. Thanks
Very nice
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.
Brother prying on it and moving the whole block 😭
You can't be gentle with these cars, they respond well to abuse.
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.
Where do you buy new clutch and serpentine pulley?
I Ordered mine off amazon but no longer have the link.
Where do you get just the clutch/wheel?
Amazon used to sell a kit.
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
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.
