my 98 jeep cherokee blew the ac compressor clutch and berings. now it is frozen and the s-belt wont move at all. it will cost 450 to replace compressor and i need to fix fast and cheaply. can i bypass compress with a smaller belt or with a pulley. thanx

HI GO TO A PARTS & ASK THEM IF YOU CAN GET A BELT BUT NOT ONE WITH A/C. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO INSTALL A BELT, ONE WITHOUT A/C DALE HOPE THIS HELPS [email protected]

IN the meantime..i would buy one on ebay cheap enought to rob parts to fix yours or replace it

The best place to shop is an auto junkyard. they will be the cheapest. Then some R34 from your local parts store.
