Original ac question

So got a question on my original rv2 compressor in a 1970 charger. How easy should the compressor fully rotate when pressurized? I pulled the clutch as the bearing seamed to be making noise. The compressor shaft rotates to a hard point and gets very hard to rotate. Thinking piston is just making pressure but also don't want to force anything and break something.

You're thinking correctly, any compressor will become harder to turn as it reaches the top of the compression stroke.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Thank you. The torque was just getting to the i might need a longer wrench part. So figured I should check.  I break enough things as it is.
