Suzuki Grand Vitara JB416 / JB420 / JB419. Manual - part 400

7B-91 Air Conditioning System: 

Installation

1) Install magnet clutch coil (3).

NOTE
Protrusion (1) on underside of magnet clutch 
coil and hole (2) on compressor body 
assembly must match to stop movement of 
magnet clutch coil and to locate lead wire 
correctly.

 

2) Install new snap ring (1) using special tool (A).

Special tool
(B):  09900–06107

3) Install magnet clutch pulley.

a) Set magnet clutch horizontally over clutch 

installation boss.

b) Place special tool (B) onto magnet clutch 

bearing. Ensure that edge rests only inner rase 
of bearing.

Special tool
(B):  09951–15510

c) Install new snap ring (1) using special tool (A).

Special tool
(A):  09900–06107

4) Install armature plate (1).
5) Using special tool (A), tighten new armature plate 

bolt (2) to specified torque.

Tightening torque
Armature plate bolt (a):  21 N·m (2.1 kgf-m, 15.5 
lb-ft)

Special tool
(A):  09991–06310

6) Adjust clearance between armature plate (1) and 

magnet clutch pulley by putting shim(s) on 
compressor shaft. To measure the clearance, 
perform the following steps.
a) Put compressor in a vise.
b) Set dial gauge on magnet clutch plate, and then 

adjust its pointer at 0.

c) Connect battery positive terminal (+) to magnet 

clutch coil lead wire.

d) Connect battery negative terminal (–) to 

compressor body assembly. (At this point, 
armature plate and magnet clutch pulley (2) are 
kept in contact.)

e) Disconnect battery negative terminal (–) to 

compressor body assembly. (At this point, 
armature plate and magnet clutch pulley (2) are 
not in contact.)

f) Read stroke of armature plate from dial gauge by 

performing Step d) and e) repeatedly. (Stroke of 
armature plate is clearance between armature 
plate and magnet clutch pulley (2).)

Standard clearance between armature plate and 
magnet clutch
“a”: 0.3 – 0.6 mm (0.012 – 0.024 in.)

7) Install compressor to vehicle referring to 

“Compressor Assembly Removal and Installation for 
J20 Engine Model”.
