Update on the removal an replacement of the a/c clutch on the 350 sdl.
On this model you do not need a puller. You do need a large monkey
wrench with some
copper on each jaw ( to protect the pulley). You can then hold the

It's been a while, but I believe I used a large pair of standard snap
ring pliers. Seems to me there are two snap rings, one internal and
the other external -- the internal one may be a bit of a PITA on the

If time permits I'll photograph the process and post it, together with
the tools.

Some ND compressors need a pin wrench to counterhold the clutch so you
can remove the center nut, but others have no provision for the pin
