DIY Nissan Rogue AC Clutch Replacement Made Simple

The AC on the Nissan Rogue went out 2 weeks ago, despite proper freon pressure and no blown fuses. After trouble shooting the problem, I was able to find that the clutch was not engaging.
Careful consideration was taken to check to see if the compressor was an issue, so basically I was rolling the dice on this project and purchased the clutch rather than the entire compressor. It looked fairly straightforward to complete after countless reviewing of other DIY projects, from which I will give credit to at the bottom.
If you are like me and hate getting under the car without all wheels on, I did not use a jack stand, nor did I remove the front passenger tire when I proceeded. With enough space, as the wheels were turned all the way to the right, I was able to squeeze in. The camera angle was not the best, but I made do.
Tools:
10 mm and 14 mm socket wrench
Phillips screw driver
Flat head screw driver to remove the plastic clips(wheel well guard)
#20 hex
O - ring snap pliers
3 arm pulley remover

Hello! I have purchased the item on Amazon. MOFEEZ 3" 4" 6" 3 Jaw Gear... www.amazon.com/dp/B07C9MRC7N?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I believe it was the 6 inch pulley. But you can purchased in harbor freight.
