Does anyone know what tool and/or where to find the tool to remove the a/c clutch on the compressor. The fastener is in the center of the pulley and it is round with a notch in the center. Snap on says they've never seen such a fastener like it. My bearings are gone on the a/c pulley and I wanted to save a bunch of money by just changing the bearings instead of the whole compressor unit. Please help me asap my a/c is discharged, and its hot as hell here in the North East.
