So what did you do to your Disco today?

Replaced the ac compressor clutch bearing, the serpentine belt, and the fan clutch. All easy. The compressor clutch bearing is easy once you get the flower snap ring off. I couldn’t get it with numerous snap ring pliers. Just bad angles. Actually once I took a stout hook and a very very small flat screwdriver I was able to pull and lift it off with no damage whatsoever. FYI the kit autozone sells with the snap ring, shim, screw, etc.... is NOT correct. They do however have the bearing correct and that’s what was important. It’s part # MT2027 for the bearing, made by Santech. Chinese unfortunately, but.....whatcha gonna do....

Glass is no match for a windy day... apparently.
The hazards of parking near a construction site on a very windy day. When I went out to check on my car, I was greeted with a shattered back window, with no entry hole. Very strange. I moved it a couple times, thus some of the glass fell out, etc. I knocked all the glass out and get her home, then cleaned her up a bit. Fortunately there was a cheap (cost wise) replacement on ebay, so that's on the way. But driving around with a tarp in the back window isn't exactly my favorite thing to do. The stickers held up very well during the whole thing. Good mark for Rovers North there...

THIS is HIGH on my priority list. Do tell, how long it took, any pointers or weird crap- the unexpected, any special tools you needed or wished you’d had but didn’t, any parts acquired to complete besides chain, pump, front cover kit? Inquiring minds NEED to know!!!

I used pretty standard tools and I had everything I need. The bold that holds on the crank pulley is a 15/16 I believe. I am doing all of this again right now because the oil pump is making noises it didn't before I did this. My fault for getting a Britpart oil pump... GDI
You can count on this taking about 4-6 hours based on how prepared you are and how well you keep track of your tools while you use them.
