I am having a challenge with my aircon compressor outer wheel. It is secured with a 16 x 6mm bolt which secures it onto a splined shaft. This bolt seems to wear itself loose and the wheel then drops off into the engine compartment.
I have found that if I tighten the wheel onto the compressor, the aircon clutch remains engaged and thus the air con is always on.
I have fitted a spacer washer between the wheel and compressor and now it will engage only on demand. But it has come loose again since. Now I am trying locktight on the bolt.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

Not a similar problem, but was going to suggest Lock-tight... Hope it stays!

Hello Philip,
Sorry I'm replying so late but I was looking for some info on my KZ's aircon pump and came across your thread...
The (inner)bearing on my truck's aircon pump needs to be replaced and I was wondering if you perhaps know somebody reliable(besides a dealer obviously) who does these kind of things?
I see you reside in Vereeniging where I often visit the family, so it will be possible to take the truck there, unless you're also aware of somebody in the Jo'burg area?
Best Regards
Johan
