1. A/C belt broke (replaced).
2. Tension-er broke (replaced).
3. A/C belt broke (replaced). Just prior to break, heard a rattling noise. Before replacing belt I checked the pulley and clutch. Both seemed to be free and no apparent drag.
4. Heard a rattling sound, but the A/C was not turned on and the belt broke again. The pulley still turns free and there is no indication it is the bearing and the clutch seems to rotate fine too.
I know if I have to replace the compressor I will have to pull a vacuum. If its a clutch problem and I remove the compressor to replace the clutch will I need to pull a vacuum when I replace it or will it hold its pressure with the manifold removed.
Please help.
