The belt on my air conditioner was broken due to a locked up tensioner. Before I replace the tensioner and the belt I wanted to ask someone who knows more than me a couple of questions. With the belt removed the clutch spins freely and the head or actual Electromagnet portion of the compressor spins with a decent amount of tension but I can turn it by hand. If the car is running and the AC is turned on without the belt in place, should both the clutch and the other piece spin freely or should there be tension ?
I hope my question makes sense. I just want to get some opinions before I invest the money in a new tensioner and belt just to find out there’s still something wrong with the compressor itself.
