Wheel of the front of A/C unit

[ABE]

Looking for a new wheel for the A/C unit in the engine bay as the bearing in the one I have are shot. Can anyone help?

Got a full a/c pump sittin here, to be honest i don't know if it's any good my a/c never worked when i got it, but i don't know what was wrong with it, I just stripped it all out for a bit extra ground clearance rather than getting fixed.

I think one of us is talking about a different unit. I am talking about the silvery grey unit that as you look at the engine from the front it sits to the left of the engine and a belt runs from it down towards the alternator area ruffly (will try and find a pic) I dont see how removing what I am talking about would give extra ground clearance?

Found a pic not the best but a pic that shows what I am needing talking about

£220.00 ouch... still its cheaper than Toyota... which was nearly £690.00 last time I asked...!

[ABE]

ye priced it already was hoping that some one might be s$$$$ping there truck and I could get it cheap. Did you find it easy to replace?

[AndyLala]

I didn't replace it...

sorry should have read your post properly cheers

Yeah that's the pump, same as the one i got here. I meant i'd ripped all the a/c system out including the underslung a/c rad/heat exchanger/condensor unit so got more ground clearance by taking that lot out, but took the the pump out aswell

great how much are you looking for just the wheel/clutch/bearings assembly thing?

[nero279]

say £15 +p&p how does that sound?

Like i say i'm not 100% sure that it worked but if there's anything i can do to test the parts you need i'm quite happy to do that before i send it or take any money off you, bearing in mind it's already off the vehicle.

All I need is the wheel and bearings at the front as my one at present can quite freely move it back and forth. So as long as they aren't shot on yours too I will quite happly take it. Dont need the whole unit just the front assembly

I'll take a look tomorrow mate, and make sure they seem ok, i take it it's just a case of making sure there's no excess play in the bearings and that they still rotate freely?

Put a 12v supply to it to see if the clutch engages. It doesn't have to be spinning, as the clutch will still move in and out with voltage to it.
