Can you explain what problem you are currently having with it before rebuilding?
I had a problem with the electromagnetic clutch on my compressor a few years ago. This symptom has been frequently reported. In this case, the radiator fan fuse will blow.
When you turn on the air conditioner switch, does the clutch operate with a clicking sound?
If the clutch works fine and the refrigerant is not leaking, but the refrigerant pressure does not build up, the problem may be with the compressor.
If the problem is only the electromagnetic clutch, rewinding the coil may fix it. In this case, there is no need to replace the refrigerant, so it will be a simpler repair.

I ended up replacing the compressor with a used one. That fixed the issue with the fan fuse blowing. I’m going to try to take the clutch off to see if it can be fixed by rewinding as you suggested. Either way I’m keeping it as a rebuildable spare. Thanks
