Just wondering delta...it seems like it might have been easier to just remove the compressor and change the clutch on the bench rather than mess with moving all the stuff in front of it out of the way.

I realize this would mean having to evac and recharge the system and you'd spend a few $$$ on refrigerant but still I have seen the procedure for the R&R of the compressor and it looks like it can be done in about an hour or so...how long did it take to do it your way?

It's weird that MB charges more for the clutch kit than an entire rebuilt compressor sells for. Even their list price for the entire compressor is only $900, or $190 more than the clutch, but I don't know if that is rebuilt or new for $900.
