Hello my A/C compressor just started making a grinding noise, no cool air. How hard is it to replace the clutch and bearing, or is it easier to replace the compressor itself. Thank you and advance.

If you don't have a clutch puller, replacing the clutch will be tough. But replacing the entire compressor you will need to evacuate and recharge the refrigerant. So each way has a barrier for DIY. However, I would suggest replacing the compressor, in the case it might be damaged. Always replace the dryer when replacing any A/C component.
