DEFINITION:
Stator coil is a device that converts electricity and converts it to a magentic force , so it once you turn your AC on it pull the compressor clutch to the turning pulley (pressure plate ) and the compressor starts spinning and compressing the air .
TESTING :
before attemping to get the startor coil out , which will result in getting your compressor out , unhooking the FREON lines and loosing it , you can test your clutch by finding the coil harness which will be near the raditor driver's side just above the compressor , test it with a multimeter ( car is off ) it should give a resistance of 3.2 > 3.5 ohms , other wise it needs replacement !
Another test is turn on your ignition , ask a friend to turn on AC and see if the clutch has moved ( engaged ) , if it does > everything is fine , doesn't > replace the coil .
TOOLS NEEDED ( tools needed in getting the compressor out not included ) :
1. 12mm socket

3. Clutch Removeal tool .
4. 3 Jaws pullaer ( or use a hammer )
5. straight Nose Circlip pilars .
6. a cross head screw driver
7. New Stator coil ( PART # > 38924-PH1-N01 STATOR COIL SET $50 > 60 $ )
PROCEDURE :
1. unbolt the 12 mm nut using a 12mm socket while holding the clutch plate ( to keep it from turning which is a very hard job )
