Snap rings, not "c" rings. This is the hard way to do it. Remove passenger tire and splash shields. Remove belt. Remove 2 bolts holding bracket below the compressor to the body, loosen the single bolt at the other end of the bracket, but do not remove it. Swing the bracket out of the way. Remove 4 bolts holding compressor and tilt it down for access. Remove clutch and replace, then reinstall all parts. Just did mine this afternoon.
Nice tip, but did you mean to say 'bracket to the block?' I haven't gotten into mine yet, but i don't understand what would be mounted to the body itself, or is it a carrier bracket holding the pressure hoses that you refer to? I am pretty sure i need a clutxh, i have an 05 Odyssey with 175k miles, and it was making no noise, low side pressure good, it just stopped cooling altogether and now the clutch doesn't move when I power it at the relay load side. Am I on the right track?
At the end of the video you show a compressor on a workbench. Did you have to remove the compressor to get the 2nd c-ring out? Or were you able to remove the 2nd c-ring without having to remove the compressor? Thanks!

I washed my hands for this!

Lot easier to just remove the compressor put it in a vice on the bench and swap it. Then vacuum and recharge R134 is still cheap.
Snap ring?
