It should be fairly uniform all the way around, it just needs to be close to pull the clutch together.

Usually not necessary to replace everything. My car has 129k on it and it needed the coil and clutch but I just took the spacer off the clutch.

I also have been getting parts off amazon

I had to hit one side with a hammer and then hit the other side, after you take that spring clip out

That let me get it to where I could wiggle it off.

remove all the spacers from the clutch, see if it engages then. I really should replace my clutch but it works without any spacers in it for the rest of this summer.
This winter I'll be getting a new clutch and pulley for it.

I know this post is a decade old but THANK YOU! Had no AC for like 3 years cause I thought the compressor was done. Such a simple fix for a $30 kit
