I have an 87 XJ making an awful racket. I have ruled out the water pump, clutch fan, idler pulley, power steering pump/pulley, and the distributor. When I took of the belt the noise was gone. I'm thinking it's the clutch bearing on the AC compressor.

Can anyone tell me how to get the clutch off the compressor so I can inspect and possible replace the clutch bearing?

Thanks!

Think there is an ac clutch tool you can just rent from auto zone/advance auto but do it soon.mine was doing the same thing and before I got a chance to change it, and locked up broke the belt and the belt ripped radiator hose in half
