How to service and repair the A/C Clutch on Toyota MR2 Spyder?

The procedure requires you to let the engine idling while enabling the A/C during a ten-minute period prior to engine stop and battery cable removal. The first step includes draining the refrigerant from the refrigeration system after which you should remove the front engine under cover along with the drive belt. To remove the compressor start by disconnecting the connector as well as the wire harness clamp and three bolts while maintaining the discharge and suction hose undamaged. The two bolts on the discharge and suction hoses need removal but immediately cover open fittings because atmospheric substances could enter the system. The installation process begins with compressor oil lubrication of two new O-rings before attaching the discharge and suction hoses by screwing in the two bolts to a torque of 9.8 N.m (100 kgf.cm, 7 ft.lbf). It is crucial to connect both hoses without delay after removing the caps to prevent damage. Use the three bolts to install the compressor while first tightening bolt A gently before pushing down the rear compressor section and performing full bolt torques starting with B followed by C and ending with A at 24.5 N.m (250 kgf.cm, 18 ft.lbf). Reconnect the connector then add and check the drive belt function followed by the negative (-) terminal cable restoration to the battery. Apply an evacuation of the refrigeration system before adding 500 plus or minus 30 g (17.64 plus or minus 1.06 oz.) of refrigerant. After verifying no leaks through the use of a gas leak detector inspect the torque on all joints before testing the A/C system operation.
