I am trying to replace the compressor clutch. I have a holding tool but I must not be using it correctly because I can't get it to hold the clutch still.
Can you tell me or show me how to use the OEM27000 on my compressor clutch?

Tool a kinda Y shaped with threee lugs? lugs go into holes on clutch face. An air ratchet would really help very hard to hold one handed and ratchet with other

That would be the answer except that there are no holes on the clutch face of this compressor; not even notches.
Any other tools I can use?

Try a chain or strap wrench the air ratchet is by far best tool.

The strap wrench didn't hold the clutch plate still either because there is very little to grip. Any chance of a picture showing the procedure? Thanks.
