Oh,

forgot to mension, the parts that broken is the unit that attaches to the
belt, wheel, coli, shaft and stuff inside it.

oh yeah,

really have to write just one note :P
is this a DIY job, except the part of filing with freon/rc123

The electric compressor clutch is generally pretty bullit proof. If it has failed mechanically, as opposed to the coil simply burning out, make sure there is not a problem with the compressor or system overcharge. The clutch can be changed out without degassing the system, IF you have the special tools.

Sounds like your clutch bearing failed. I would run a pressure test and if no freon is leaking (seals often go with bearing) would consider just a clutch (actually I'd probably buy a whole new compressor for a spare and try swapping the clutch first).

Does take a special tool to R&R the clutch but think can be done in car (have done on Fiero but not Reatta).

Compressor should be an HR-6 (Harrison Redesign of the DA-6).
