Clutch assembly and integrated ARB/guard

A method of making a clutch assembly, the method comprising:

• installing pulley bearings on a threaded bracket journal;
• installing an integrated pulley/shaft on the pulley bearings, with the pulley bearings positioned at least partially within a blind interior area of a cup-like hub of the integrated pulley/shaft;
• installing a coil assembly on the integrated pulley/shaft after the integrated pulley/shaft is installed on the pulley bearings;
• installing a housing base on the integrated pulley/shaft after the coil assembly is installed on the integrated pulley/shaft;
• installing a rotor assembly on the integrated pulley/shaft after the housing base is installed on the integrated pulley/shaft;
• installing a housing cover on the integrated pulley/shaft after the rotor assembly is installed on the integrated pulley/shaft;
• assembling a journal bracket assembly to the threaded bracket journal after the housing cover is installed on the integrated pulley/shaft;
• and
• engaging a tool with a torque feature of the threaded bracket journal to threadably couple the threaded bracket journal and the journal bracket assembly, wherein the tool is inserted through a rear opening and into a passage in the journal bracket assembly.

An integrated anti-rotation bracket (ARB) and guard assembly for use with a clutch, the assembly comprising:

• a body portion that extends axially;
• a flange that extends from the body portion;
• a barrier that extends from the body portion, the barrier being axially spaced from the flange;
• a mounting extension that extends from the body portion;
• and
• a harness attached to the mounting extension at a location aligned with the barrier in an axial direction.
