Applying some heat could be a good thing, but first, i would have to put the whole thing inside the freezer for the shaft to become smaller.
After this, heating the bearing and/or the pulley could do the trick.
But for now, my freezer is full and i don't have room for putting the entire compressor in it.
Must find another way to get it done.
ANOTHER QUESTION : as i want to open the compressor itself, to access the rotors, and specialy, access the bearings for replacing them, is there a way to get the external screws that catch the gears carter on the rotors carter out ?
I mean : the electrical clutch is in front of 2 screws and i'm wondering if i have to find a BTR tool which is round at its end or if there is a way to get the whole clutch (black round thing which is between the pulley and the compressor) removed ?
Thanks !
