Compressor clutch fitting KAD44

[MajorF]

I have been advised to replace the clutch on a KAD44 compressor/supercharger but have no clue on how to remove the old and install a new clutch.
I am told that it is a relatively straightforward job but would really appreciate guidance on what tools are required and how to complete the installation.
Any advice and/or photos gratefully received.

Unless you have a set, buy a set of circlip pliers with both types (squeeze to open and squeeze to close)
You will need feeler gauges to get the correct spec gap (shims will be supplied)
From memory there is a clever way of pulling the unit off with a couple of bolts and I remember having to make a pulling plate (VP will sell you one but it would be a silly price) I can’t adequately describe this …..await others with possibly pics
Not a particularly difficult job because it’s easy to get to (generally)
Best of luck

Here you go, it’s KAD43 but I think the same
