m7040 ac compressor

[tbyrd1960]

My AC compressor clutch recently failed so I ordered a Ebay clone with new dryer, but want to replace the front seal and clutch on the original compressor to have as a spare. My confidence level in the clone is low due to how cheap it was. I am having trouble sourcing a new seal. Denso SV07E 447260-5780 compressor. The seal does not have any numbers on it. Any suggestions?

I worked at a shop for years and we never had any luck replacing the front seal. Better off replacing the whole compressor with a clutch already on it.

Thanks for the input Chris. I understand most people warn against trying to replace the seals.
