so it sounds like my AC clutch is going. (probably all the power steering fluid thats been sprayed in it...) When I start up the truck it rattles. It sounds like a bearing that cage is going in and the balls are loose. If I turn on the AC and engage the clutch it goes away and when I turn the AC off it seems slightly better than when I first started the truck.
Looking at the parts manual I'm not sure what parts I need. Do I need the pulley/Hub kit? The clutch overhaul kit?
From the service manual this job doesn't look too hard, I'd just like to have the parts I need when I start so the truck doesn't stay down long.
Anyone have any experience with this?

Re: AC clutch
clutch overhall kit. You are probably better off taking it to an AC shop as it requires a special tool. They can do it faster if you bring the part.

Re: AC clutch
Took me forever to get the old clutch off without the proper puller. After that its a breeze. Just have to put the right amount of spacer washers in so the clutch isn't engaged full time. Good luck

Re: AC clutch
There is a couple of special tools you need to play with the A/C compressor.
