    Hi Guys
    I have taken the air con pump off of my engine and now need a pulley to place where the pump was, i did read somewhere on here where to get this from but I'll be buggered if i can find it now, can anyone point me in the right direction please.

    I think it was something to do with a Clio.

    Just to let you guys know of a really inexpensive mod for this, remove the screw in the middle of the clutch, pull off the clutch plate, remove the circlip and remove the pulley, you will more than like;y need to replace the pulley bearing, remove the big circlip so you can remove the electro magnet.

    Undo the 6 bolts behind the pulley, then split the unit, it's in 3 bits, there is a green liquid inside so don't do this in the lounge :smiley:
    Using just the front section, clean and refit the pulley and circlip.

    Got to be cheaper than the kit i found, if you want to keep the air con pump to refit later either put it back together or buy another one to split.

  7. Gonna give this a go! When you say you will need to replace the pulley bearing where do you get this from?

    When i checked my bearing it was a bit notchy and loose, so i think it would have failed in the near future. the bearing came from my bearing and belt supplier, but if your bearing feels smooth, then you might not need to replace it.

    @ianplymouth how easily should the clutch plate come off

    Hi Matt
    I did struggle a bit with mine, a good hammer and screw driver seemed to sort it, as long as you don't damage the pulley or the bearing boss the rest doesn't matter, the clutch plate sticks on the pump shaft, that's the problem.

    gave it another go tonight and it came off with a few hits of the hammer, just need to get the old bearing out now and fit the new one
