Hey everybody, so to start off with my AC compressor went out last year AC does not work I do not care. Last night it started making a very loud noise and it sounded like bearings loose or something like that but it was louder than any other bearing that I'd ever heard before. When I got it opened up this morning and was looking around and messing with things it looked like my bearing to the AC compressor was loose rattling a little bit so I took it to a buddy of mine that owns a shot and asked his opinion. He said yes the bearings are going bad in my AC compressor and then I need a new compressor but that the good thing is that now that I'll have AC. I really cannot afford to replace my compressor at this time I just started a new business and bought a food truck. I was doing research online because I know with an old car I had an old Oldsmobile I was able to bypass the AC and just run my belt without it. So I was looking for a bypass pulley but they do not make one for 2006 and up for the Jeep I can find one for 2005 and below but that was it. And I saw on a few threads that people were bypassing the AC compressor all together with a smaller belt and I was hoping someone has actually done it to this make and model and year and could give me a diaphragm of how I put the belt back on correctly without attaching it to my AC compressor?
If its possible ,this is what i believe i need to do but would that be enough tension for my tensioner pulley to keep everything else working
