AC belt ripped, pully ain't spinning. -_-
I was working on my RX-8 LIKE CRAZY to get it back on the road. (The transmission pan had to be replaced because of the massive hole it had)
As soon as I started it up, I saw an overabundant amount of smoke coming form the engine bay. Upon further inspection, my AC belt ripped completely & my compressor pully isn't spinning. Although, the peice all the way at the end is.
My question is - can I replace the bearing inside the compressor? What tools do I need to do this? Where can I find this bearing?

I'm not sure how I can separate it all.

This guy can help you with a pulley bearing: http://stores.ebay.com/maqair?_trksid=p2054897.l2563
Now I need to find out how I can pull the pulley/clutch off of the shaft.

This picture should help: Examining Air Conditioning Clutch Failures in the Field It may be a lot easier to pull the compressor and do it on the bench.
I think pulling the pulley might be my only option.

Why can't you drive it? cut the belt off and go.
