I have a 2006 997. The a/c clutch bearing is grinding. I purchased a used 996 a/c compressor off of ebay. I plan on leaving the original a/c compressor on the car and take off the clutch and replace it with the one purchased on ebay. My car has 29,533 miles.

When I turn the center bolt the whole clutch spins with it and I cant see how to secure the clutch so I can turn the bolt in the center. Second does the clutch need to be pulled out with a puller, installed with a press? It would be great to not disconect the a/c system and take the compressor out.

I'm looking at adding performance mods. Does anyone know where in Orange County Ca or a website I can go to purchase performance bolt on parts, chip or so? I will replace my aircleaner if there is a better one than factory.

Thanks to you all for reading and your Help!

I've never worked on the compressor on these cars but on other units that I have done you need special tools to remove the brng and to install it.... the same for the electrical coil.
