You can, but mine is working. I think the problem must be something internally wrong with the compressor. Usually they leak or the clutch goes out, and mine's not doing either of those. It is 30 years old though.
@megs4898 @macdaddykwm1 I've thought about it more, and I really shouldn't rule out the clutch. It would be another part to try that doesn't require opening the system AND could possibly be the cause of the problem, however unlikely that may be. Unfortunately, it looks like this particular compressor may not have a removable clutch, at least my search so far for just the clutch has only yielded replacement compressors. I have found one clutch for $100 on RockAuto, but that price doesn't make good fodder for the ol' parts cannon. The saga continues...

Can you separate the compressor clutch and possibly replace it without opening the system?

Good idea!

Great video! Very good information!
Just trying to encourage people who don't know everything about how to fix it all...myself included 😆🛠️
