My girlfriends 2008 honda has had intermittent ac for a couples months now and took it in to a shop to get an analysis. They told her the clutch wasnt engaging and want to replace the compressor, condensor, and expansion valve.

I know you need to replace that stuff if you end up opening the system, but would it be worth it to buy an ebay clutch and just replacing that before dropping a grand on the repairs?

The shop said it was 6 ounces low, topped it off and they still couldn't get the clutch to engage. Is just replacing the clutch rare? I can't really find the part anywhere but ebay and the dealer.

What special tools? From what i am seeing online it is just a nut in the middle of the pulley and then a snap ring holding the pulley on and another holding the clutch on. And im not sure if they checked that or not, i haven't had time to take a long look at it myself because I'm in the middle of a captain class.
