ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - adjustability on the ac compressor and or pulley

I just did this repair a couple of weeks ago (I posted a few threads) due to a belt chirp and squeal. I replaced the pulley, bearing and clutch assembly with new pieces. While in there, I did not see any adjustment capability; there was a snap ring (PITA to remove, but easier to install) so I thought it binary as "it either fit or it didn't."

I did put a new high end (continental) belt on at the same time. My chirp is gone now so I don't know if it was the belt, the pulleys or alignment. Either way, I'm happy.

BTW.... I also had Marc Haibeck rebuild my tensioner. My car has 83k and it was due.
