Hello,

I took of the A/C compressor on my 2000 V6 Camry to replace the clutch bearings. The compressor is a Nippondenso 10PA17C. I've followed the manual but I'm having trouble when I get to removing the pressure plate. It looks like the plate is riveted on. I removed the shaft bolt which came off easily with just a socket wrench, but nothing else comes off.

I found this (http://tinyurl.com/yggaz3) webpage, for a 10A15C compressor, that says to just pry it off. And I found this (http://tinyurl.com/2c96gs) webpage that has pics of rebuilding a 10P17C compressor but the top of mine looks different.

How do I get the plate off? :banghead:

I figured it out. Screw an M8 bolt into it and keep tightening. It'll slowly rise out.
