Red with around 40K miles? So, you have it/are waiting to receive it? He picked the car up today since we didn't have the tool, and mentioned that he would be back once we got the tool. We/you may not need it, but we are beyond capacity at the shop and could not afford to tear it down and hope that it would just come off without the tool. Otherwise we would have given it a shot, we have plenty of pullers but not a M26.
Also, is this a common issue with these cars to blow the A/C clutch fuse due to the clutch? I am out of the loop as far as specifically what it was in for other than what he wanted replaced, but I guess we were not going to do any diagnostics?
Are you guys going to take care of it now then? Just so we know if we need to get the tool or not.
Thanks for the info!
