Anyone know of availability of the air conditioning pulley for a 22re compressor. Nippodenso 10PA. 137mm in diameter. A Taiwan supplier is out of them and asked me if a 143mm would work. I have no idea if the difference would effect working range rpm to make a difference. It came out of a 1989 pickup 2wd auto trans 22re and it is going into a 87 runner with manual trans and p/s. Trying to do the rebuild myself. Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Check out my 22re engine build

 

If the arbor size is correct, and sufficient clearance exists for the idler pulley to clear the compressor pulley, no worries.

I have been able to substitute the older, rebuildable larger diameter pulleys in some applications, and found that they would NOT work in others.

You ought to be able to make a couple measurements to decide if the larger diameter one will work for you.

 

Thank You!

 

Hi Mill,

If you are still out there, what is a rebuildable pulley and who rebuilds them. Mine is off a 1989 pickup, 2wd drive, 22re, auto. Rebuildable?

Thanks.

 

Look at the idler pulley for your power steering, most of this vintage 22re's have a power steering tensioning pulley with a bearing that might be pressed out after removal of a retaining ring..

You can do this rebuild your self.

Those are often able to be substituted for the AC pully along with substitution of their arbor. which is a different diameter than the original AC pulleys.

I have secured several from the wrecking yards to use in my machines.

As I said before, sometimes the larger diameter will serve, and sometimes they won't.

 

Mill, A bit of a misunderstanding. I’m good on the idler. What I am looking for is the large pulley on the compressor itself that has some clutch pad material embedded in the face of the pulley as mine is damaged and falling out. It’s like brake material.

Clutch material on face of pulley that mounts on compressor.

 

Sorry I misunderstood.

I have never put new clutch parts on an AC compressor and got long lasting good results.

When there are clutch issues, I buy a new compressor.

Usually when the clutch is gone, the compressor/seals are not far behind.
