I'm having problems figuring out how to remove the AC Compressor clutch on a 8th Gen (2009) Impala.

Here's a stock image of the compressor: http://www.carid.com/images/delphi/a...ng/cs10076.jpg

It has a single small t-bolt in the center, took that out and nothing budges. Went to auto store to rent a pulley puller, rented 2, neither look like they will work.

Any ideas how to get this thing off?

The link doesn't work for me. When I swapped out the clutch on my 1999 Olds Alero, I took out the center bolt, screwed the puller into the shaft, then used the adapters that were part of the puller to grab and latch onto the ribs on the ID of the hub and take it off of the shaft. To put it back on, I used the same puller and drew it onto the compressor shaft, stopping when the air gap was what it was supposed to be by checking it with a feeler gauge.

I know how regular pulleys work, but im having trouble finding the tool to remove this clutch... I tried 3 different auto parts stores. Brought in the bolt from the middle of the pulley and they all said they dont have any that go down that small...
