Compressor or clutch

If you don't trust the mechanic get more opinions and quotes.

I'm about to swap out my wife's A/C compressor pulley, bearing, and clutch. They come in a kit for $50 and it'll take me less than a hour since I've done it before. Though the compressor itself does have bearings on the inside, and if your compressor siezed on the inside, it's junk and likely spread metal shavings throughout the A/C system, needing extra parts to be thoroughly cleaned / replaced. Though that contamination would not affect your engine's lubrication or cooling. Engine has oil, cooling has coolant, A/C has refrigerant. All closed systems to each other. one way to check if your compressor is junk is to disengage the serpentine belt, and turn the outer clutch plate by hand (not the pulley). It should turn over but give resistance. If it's really hard to turn, or doesn't turn at all the compressor is junk. call me at 978.888.8546 if you want to talk it over, I'm about to replace the clutch/pulley/bearing on my wife's Rogue and have done it before on two other cars.

GuruMP317, I need to replace the clutch magnet on my wife's 2015 Rogue Select. The best I can find is the whole clutch for $450. Where did you find a kit for $50?
