im changing the clutch coil on my ac this weekend, it went bad couple weekends ago my question is what tools will i need to take the clutch off and the pulley off ? some people say i need a special clutch took and a pulley puller others say one nut and two snap rings hold it together so snap ring puller and a pulley puller at the most! so has anyone ever done one and done it with it on the car?

I'm looking to fix my AC clutch as well. Could you snap few pictures while doing it and do a small write-up after for the rest of us?

I haven't done this job on TSX, but have on 94 Accord. The clutch plate is held in place w/ single 10mm socket size nut. You will need a special tool to restrain the clutch pulley or an air impact to drive the 10mm socket.You may be able to rent a restraint tool from auto parts store (AZ, ORiellys, etc).

You will also need snap ring pliers to remove C-clip holding clutch pulley.

I recollect someone doing this job recently. Try searching for post.

Do you have a shop manual? If not suggest getting one from automanualsource.com for $22. It does not describe compressor clutch work w/ compressor connected to AC system, but does describe compressor removal and necessary steps to access compressor.

good luck
