Looking for new or used clutch magnet off of a 1kzte motor. Thanks for looking
Your best bet will probably be a second hand compressor complete. Look for the compressor number on the rear of the unit.
Why do you need it may I ask?
Mine is shot. The compressor is good but the magnetic clutch is seizing up causing belt squeals. I’ve found brand new replacements for just the clutch but they’re going for $350 and up. I think Toyota brand cost around $500.
This is puzzling. Have you tried stripping it? There’s only a bearing to the pulley which can be replaced from eBay. There’s a thread on here somewhere. Does the pulley cause the belt to slip all the time the engine is running or just when the clutch is pulled in?
They are a Denso compressor. They can seize after a while especially if short of gas and therefore oil circulation. This happened to mine and the compressor was seized solid.
I doubt the pulley is the problem with yours. The plate at the front with a bolt in the middle is the compressor drive. Try moving that with grips or ideally your hand. It should turn fairly easily but with a bit of resistance. If not it’s almost certainly the compressor that is seized.
There are two possibilities for the pulley being loose and wobbly.
1, the circlip holding the pulley onto the nose of the compressor has come off and the pulley and it’s bearing have rotated on the nose, wearing it down, or
2, the bearing in the centre of the pulley has collapsed, which could cause a lock up, followed by 1, above.
Both could mean a scrap compressor unless you’ve been really fortunate and had 2, but not 1, …
Strip down (it’s only one bolt) essential really to avoid one of the golden rules of troubleshooting ‘don’t condemn a part until it is proven faulty’.
