AC Compressor Bearing

[PirateMcGee]

Is it possible to just replace the bearings in a 6G74 AC compressor? Mine is starting to make some noise. Compressor works just fine it just seems that the front bearing is starting to be a bit worn out.

Yes, I've pulled the bearing off.. it isn't an interference fit, so you can unbolt the pulley and slide the pulley and bearing off. But you need the compressor out of the car to get the right working space.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid pulling it out of the truck but maybe that's not possible.

I just put in a new compressor yesterday. About a 3hr job, it comes out the top, you need to pull battery and tray.

Also helpful to remove drivers front tire to access bolts

There just isn't leverage to pull the pulley and bearing without perhaps removing more from the front end (radiator, bumper, etc)... you might get lucky and have it come off easily, so worth a shot.
