It was recommended for me to replace my AC clutch considering it is only attacked by ~1/3 of the rubber gasket. Is there a tool that is needed to pull the clutch or will it come off easily? I only ask because I can do the job now if it does not need a tool but would need to wait til next week to do the job if a tool is required.

Thanks

Same thing happened on my wife's 96 ZJ a month or so ago. The piece with the rubber is called the clutch drive plate and is available seperately at Autozone for less than $40.It was something they had to order so I got one from a salvage yard so my wife wouldn't have to go without AC for two days (it's been a brutal summer this year). If you're changing the drive plate only, all you need is a 10mm socket and something to hold the plate from spinning, a strap type oil filter wrench or good old fashioned channelocks. It took me less than 15 minutes to fix.
