Removing Air Con Belt In R32 Gtr Due To Bearing Problem

[Styline GTR]

As the Topic title Says!

Just the bearing in the Compressor are realy really skueaking on Start up and was wondering if i just should take the belt of it and Drive around with no belt on it!!????

Any dramas with that??

Yeah you can just remove the a/c belt, it dosent run anything else so it will only stop your air con.

Are you sure the belt isnt just loose. A noisy compressor wont just be noisy at start up. It depends on if the bearing in the outer ring is noisy or the main shaft bearing/s are noisy. If its the outer ring bearing it will only be noisy when the compressor isnt running. If its the shaft bearings it will be noisy when the compressor is running. Check the belt condition and the tension. You should remove the belt and have a feel of the outer pulley on the front of the compressor and rotate whole clutch at the front of the compressor to feel the shaft bearings. Although it may not be so easy to feel those bearings as the friction of you trying to turn the compressor will make it deceiving. Also check the a/c belt tensioner for smoothness.
