As it is right now, I have given up on removing the disc. Since I could not find out the exact size of bolts I would have needed, the ones I have did not work and the steel rods I created as hooks with the took kit puller did not work either. No doubt the holes are messed up.

The gap I have had is 0.026"/0.65mm. I don't see using a bread clip would do this job. I would have to use wires to close the gaps and move on. The frustrating part is moving back all I removed to get to the compressor. After gaping to a good gauge, I would make sure the R34 is enough and try the AC. If still issues, I would vacuum it and refill.

Thanks for all the information, well appreciated.
