[DMCForum] Re: A/C squealing (Compressor Bearings)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep -- bearings for the compressor shaft itself don't spin until the
clutch is engaged.

You could go through a laborious procedure to disassemble the
compressor, or simply replace it altogether with any Sanden 508/510
(are common as dirt, $100 NIB on eBay). Sanden is what Sankyo changed
its name to. Re-use your existing back.
