ZJ air con compressor options - siezed
Been a while since I posted but I recently bought an old ZJ to replace my XJ, and the air con compressor seized yesterday. It's been noisy for a while but when I turned the air on yesterday arvo it started smoking then completely seized in a matter of a few seconds and spat a big rubber seal out the front. I can run the engine as the belt is still on but the front of the compressor (I assume the clutch) is just loose and bouncing around making a racket. It's probably a matter of time before it locks up and spits the belt.
My question is what is the cheapest option to keep it going? I can't find a RHD bypass pulley for a ZJ, and also can't find a cheap ac compressor to chuck on. Is there a way to route a smaller belt to bypass the compressor all-together without any issue?
Cheers
Josh
