I need to pull out the clutch from the AC compressor of two pistons of my duster '73. I appreciate anybody who can tell me the right tool to use after already removed the central bolt and if the pulley will come out with the clutch. Thank you

Once you've removed the centre bolt, you will see that there are large threads in the centre of the clutch. You screw a 5/8"-11 bolt into these threads. As you thread it in, hold the clutch from turning. This can be difficult — I have made do by inserting two screwdrivers into two of the three holes on the faceplate and putting a third screwdriver across the first two; another technique is to turn the ignition on but leave the engine off, and turn the A/C "on" so that the clutch engages; usually belt tension against the engine is enough to hold the clutch stable while you screw in the bolt. The bolt you're screwing in will contact the front of the compressor crankshaft and then, as you continue to turn it, will force the clutch and pulley assembly off the front of the compressor crankshaft. Then turn off the A/C and the ignition (if you had them turned on) and the assembly will come off in your hands.
