Default Ac compressor.

Can I lubricate the clutch on my compressor, I had the belt off and spun the pulley and it sounded like it was a little dry. Can I use wd40 or something like it, or is it on the way out.

Thanks, Kevin.

Better to replace the bearing or the clutch assembly. If it locks up it'll shred the belt.
WD40 will wash away whatever grease remains making things worse. Maybe a shot of white lithium might buy some time.
