AC Compressor Clutch Bearing? 2003 Venture
 
The bearing in my AC pulley is shot so I pulled the pulley off and it seems the bearing is built in to the pulley. The parts store sold me a bearing that was supposed to be what I needed but even if I could get the old bearing out of the pulley it would be too big. :confused:
Do I have to replace the entire pulley? If so, where do I get one? I haven't been able to find one online.

The vehicle is a 2003 Chevy Venture without rear AC. Submodel is either LS or LT.

Any help would be appreciated.

you probably mean the a/c compressor clutch. I haven't done one on a venture. Just be aware some can be done easily with common hand tools, other require specialty tools.

That's correct.
I got the pulley off all right, but the bearing is not removable from the pulley and I can't find any pulleys for sale anywhere.

I searched napa. they don't sell a comp clutch. I did see a comp clutch bearing. the compressor may not be serviceable or easily serviceable.

The clutch is built in to the compressor from what I can see, and the bearing is built in to the pulley.
The bearings I have seen for sale are not even the right size, so even if I could get the old bearing out of the pulley it wouldn't fit.
I think I'll try going to a pick & pull and get a pulley/bearing combo as that is the only thing I can think of other than buying an entire compressor assembly.
Seems like a lot of trouble for a used bearing though.
