AC Clutch GAP?

what is the proper gap between the AC Clutch and the comressor assembly. I have a puller installer and the part, I am ready to go and want to get it right.

Googled the answer to my own question, .030" does that sound right to you guys.

Re: AC Clutch GAP?

.030 Sounds good. You'll know if it's too much, the clutch will slip. If you have a few varied sizes of shim washers it should be easy to adjust.
