Here is a nice photo album by EMBREP of replacing the AC compressor clutch bearing without removing the
compressor.

I don't have part numbers, but wanted to mention that it's not a
particularly easy part to change. Need a special puller for the
clutch hub, and either a special puller or a good correct sized gear
puller for the clutch pulley and magnet assembly itself. Having
said that. It's a pretty rare failure, as it's just a big
electromagnetic that pulls the hub in. It's much more likely that
there is an electrical problem (fuse, switch, low pressure switch,
or wiring) or a low charge that keeps it from working. It's worth
either checking for power at the clutch connector, or better yet,
using a jumper lead to power it up and see what happens before you
tear into it further.

f you should decide that it is the clutch you can borrow a tool for
emoving it from Autozone under their free tool loan program. i am
old that this can be done without removing the compressor from the
otorhome. I have not done this myself, though.
