1. Remove exhaust

3. Put the thing in a vise and remove the four bolts on the back with a 12mm socket. I didn't even have to use heat.
4. The little circular bit doesn't come out. But the housing around it and the little apex seal looking things do. Just flip it over and give a smack on the wheel side and everything flies out.


5. The tube on the side comes off as well with a 10mm socket, but the tube thing isn't a standard size fitting that you can replace with a blockoff plate.

Fuck, I just realized I could have done this entire job without removing the PS pump.

You've already lost me at step one. Pulling the exhaust manifold is "easy" but adding washers to a piece that gets swapped once every 20,000 miles isn't?? Plus, the exhaust doesn't even need to come off to pull the PS pump.

About that...

But did you know that the 94-97 Kia Sephia could come with A/C and without P/S as an option? The part number is 0K201-15-930, and my local dealer told me it was available as a special order at $80 something list. It looks like it is available from most Kia Parts Direct-type web stores at around ~$65. I didn't want to shim my A/C compressor, and now I don't have to.

I realize this is a old thread, but I'm getting ready to go to a manual rack What belt did you use for this?

I'm currently using the next belt size up, with two washers on each a/c compressor bolt, but I still get a small amount of belt slip when the clutch engages.

do you happen to remember the belt you used? I managed to squeeze his belt but it’s so tight I think it might be damaging. My compressor is buzzing now.

Old thread but anyone selling one?? Sorry new to here but just want to keep my AC and depower my rack :/

Brand new, less money than most people sell their old junk for, includes new belt and all hardware. And lighter, maximum weight reduction!

Just ordered! Will let you guys know how it goes 👍🏼

concealer404 11-13-2018 07:43 AM

It will go well. I have one.

To bring this back from the dead... Any feedback which belt the NB guys are using for a 1999 Denso compressor using the sixshooter bolt shimming method? 4PK0775 or 5040305? 31.25" vs 30.5"? Trying to avoid buying 2 belts.

John Ca 04-16-2020 10:45 PM

what are the specs on this part? Is this a kia part? How did you order it?

Awesome thread!

sixshooter, I think I'm going your route on this. Gutted P/S pump failed, and I just something more simple. Why not just have the crank directly pull the AC? I rarely use my AC anyway.

Question, please: can you confirm you are using the 4PK0775 or 5040305 belts on the 1996 Miata from your profile info? I have a 1995.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here.I have a 1995 M Edition with de-powered rack, Jackson Racing cold air intake and headers, Borla cat-back and merlot hard top. Everything else is stock. I like Yokohama S-Drive tires.

less efficient?
 
I was thinking: is running a belt directly between the crank and A/C less efficient than using the third pulley?

This two-pulley set up, I imagine makes the A/C a heavier load? because there's more contact surface area (more friction) with the belt more wrapped around the A/C's pulley.

Do any of you with sixshooter's set up, experience an extra decrease of power when using the A/C?

da faq?

torque required to turn the compressor will not change in any measurable way with belt wrap.
