I doubt you could replace the clutch while the compressor is still on the car, which means you'll have to open the AC system, which means you'll have to have all the tools to recharge it properly, replace the drier/accumulator, etc.   Also to get the clutch off you'll need a special puller and some fancy pliers I think.   Rebuilt compressors are only about $250 whilst just buying a new clutch is about $125. And since you'll have to take it in for the AC recharge and drier work, you might as well just bite the bullet on this one. I don't see this as a home repair worth attempting unless you are pretty clever and experienced with AC work of course.

I installed a set of 14" wire rims on my baby. My cousin was the one who installed it and he's done this for himself and many other people. Aside from the car looking beatiful like it's gliding of the concrete, the ride had changed. Instead of the steering wheel steered straight, it's turned 45 degrees to the left for the car to go straight. The rear passenger wheel sometimes scrapes against the skirt. He tells me, "That's why it's called customization. Certain things are going to change". He's my cousin and I got nothing but love for the man, but he is the type of person who doesn't like to admit at fault. I just wanna know if anyone out there can give me a second opinion on the matter. Thanks

#56 of 66 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham by 1mikediaz Jul 29, 2009 (1:44 pm)
I just recently purchased a beautiful 1993 Fleetwood Brougham. It has currently 173,000 miles and I've done the tune up on it (air and fuel filter,trans. fluidand filter, flushed radiator, plugs and wires plus solenoid and cap) plus changed the rear axle due to wear and something about a differential leak. With these things done now, up to how many miles can I expect my beautiful Cadillac to run to?   note:before the tune-up, car ran is if it didn't need a mechanic in the world!

Replying to: 1mikediaz (Jul 29, 2009 1:44 pm) Congrats - I've had mine for 6 years without a problem (except the power antenna I disconnected). Being a used car you never can tell how long it will last or what issues you may have - you'll discover any weaknesses during the 1st year. Keep in mind it is a rear wheel drive - so you need to grease the front wheel bearings whenever you replace the front breaks. Also, if it’s icy out I highly recommend being very careful and turn off the traction control via the button in the glove box. It does OK in snow, but my experience is that the traction control causes the power to shift to the wheel with traction - then when that wheel hit’s the ice the 5800 lb. car is out of balance and the backend slowly comes around and it‘s tough to correct it. Turning off the traction control helps a lot, but it is still a rear wheel drive.
