GOT 2 THINGS A-GOIN'
THE COMPRESSOR BEING LOCKED UP..................
.................AND THE CLUTCH BEARINGS BEING LOCKED UP
WHICH IS IT?
IF THE CLUTCH WILL FREE-WHEELS FINE, WITH THE A/C OFF OR ANY HEAT MODE THAT USES "DEFROST".............(A/C AND DEFROST MAKE THE COMPRESSOR COME ON).....THEN...................
WHY DON'T YOU JUST UNPLUG THE CLUTCH SO IT CANNOT ACTIVATE EVER....'TILL YOU CAN FIX IT RIGHT.................THAT'S ALL!!!!
...........HOWEVER, IF IT IS THE CLUTCH LOCKING UP......NOT THE COMPRESSOR......A BYPASS PULLEY OR A SHORTER BELT MAY BE A TEMPORARY FIX........THESE MAY WORK AS LONG AS THE BELT DOES NOT RUB AGAINST SOMETHING.......THE "SHORTER BELT OPTION" IS GENERALLY A TRIAL AND ERROR THING
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE "HOLD" THE TENSIONER PULLEY ABOUT IN IT'S NORMAL "TENSIONED POSITION" WITH A "PULL BAR/ HANDLE" AND THREAD A ROPE THRU THE PULLEYS.....KEEPING IT TIGHT.......EITHER CUTTING IT OR MARKING IT. THEN TAKING IT TO THE PARTS STORE AND COMPARING IT TO BELTS, UNTIL THEY GOT A CLOSE ONE........THIS CAN BE DONE USING THE OLD BELT TOO
LEMME KNOW HOW IT GOES
