Re: compressor belt

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Taking the belt off will stop the noise if that"s where it's comming 
from. There won't be any ill effects except that there will be no A/C. 
A better course of action would be to remove the belt and if the noise 
does go away all you have to do is replace the bearings in the idler 
pulleys. This is not too hard a job as after removing the belt you are 
halfway done! The bearings are not very expensive and it's hard to 
drive the Delorean without A/C. When you order the bearings from a "D" 
vender they will also send you an "O" ring to replace behind a cover 
behind one of the idler pulleys. You can get the bearings localy but 
just remember to get that "O" ring too.
