MAGNETIC CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT




1. Measure the clearance around the entire circumference between the pressure plate and A/C compressor pulley using a thickness gauge.




2. Verify that the clearance is within the specification.
- If not within the specification, remove the pressure plate and adjust the clearance by changing the shim (0.2 mm {0.008 in}, 0.5 mm {0.02 in}) or the number of shims.

Clearance: 0.3 - 0.6 mm {0.012 - 0.023 in}
