If your car's AC compressor is making noise, the clutch/pulley bearing likely needs to be replace. On my 1995 Toyota Camry, we replaced the AC compressor clutch bearing without discharging the refrigerant from the compressor or removing the AC compressor from the car. We removed the compressor mounting bolts and repositioned the compressor just enough to be able to remove the pressure plate and pulley to replace the clutch bearing. We also tested the AC compressor magnetic coil and clutch assembly before we remounted the AC compressor to the car.
