Motorcraft AC Compressor Clutch Hub - YB-3111

2010 Ford Expedition 5.4 3v easy one bolt removal and installation 20 minute repair. Old rubber material between inner and outer clutch ring deteriorated causing clutch to make loud noise when ac activated. Clutch spun freely indicating compressor was functional. Mechanic wanted to replace whole compressor this was a $50 part saving big $.

There was no gap between the old clutch plate and pulley. Clutch activation made no sound due to the absence of a gap. The outer rivets spun but the inner rivets did not. The inner portion could be turned by hand so the compressor was not seized. To replace this plate the refrigerant did not need to be recovered. The compressor did not need to be lowered from the mount. The serpentine belt did not need to be removed. The center 8mm bolt was removed with a 6 point socket and the washer in the plate recess was swapped into the new pressure plate. Installation was tricky as the washer fell out despite an angled fit up. Maybe the coil pulled it out. The old pressure plate inner portion had delaminated or the rubber bond had failed. Repair took 10 minutes and ice cold air was back during the hottest summer in record.

This item was very well made and has fine machining for good operation. Good paint job

Out of package,several scratches on the mating serfice. Obviously a used and failed part. Missing shims.

Perfect replacement part. Old one came off by itself in pieces. If that is the case, I’d recommend saving for new compressor as mine was completely shot. Oh well it was worth a try to see if it was salvageable! Even had to replace bolt and washer shim I forget the size but it was small and metric…. Check forums for more info.

The product was great the shipping was bad it was late didn’t come when expected

I have my air back

I checked on the motorcraft website and it stated that the yb 3111 is what I needed so I ordered this one and as soon as I opened it I knew it wasn’t gonna fit so nothing against the seller cause they sent what I ordered and it was quality motorcraft part and returning was so easy so they get 5 stars
