Has anyone changed out the clutch coil? I show infinity ohms on mine and was just wondering if it's worth swapping out. Obviously, a compressor costs significantly more.

Yup, it's worth swapping. 20$ coil off ebay and it's cold as ice.

How long did it take? and What tools did you use. I have a compressor here that will give away if I can get the clutch and coil working.

I also took out the intercooler and bracket at the same time to clean it. You shouldn't need to to take the clutch off. I used an impact to get the nut off. To do that the intercooler bracket had to be moved. No special tools. 30 mins.
