So i am removing my A/c cause its messed up as is i am wondering what all is needed to remove the compressor?? any help? i think it has the idler on the same belt. It's a 92 GS Hatch

 

bump for help...

 

can anyone help me?

 

do i need an A/c omit pulley? or is there a different belt to use?

 

The a/c should have it's own belt, just unbolt everything, no trickery to it.


Also, you don't Need anything to actually remove it, all you really need is the wrenches/sockets,
you don't have to Replace anything to take the a/c out.

 

i believe the idler is on the same belt is this a problem?

 

The pulley that pulls tension on the belt for the a/c?

If that's what you mean, then it is not a problem, it's only for the a/c.

You have different belts for each accessory, p/s, a/c, and alternator.

 

yes i understand its a tri-belt crank i read the haynes for the car it says its a tension idler... thats why i asked

 

That tensioner is pretty much attached to the mount that the a/c is on,
which is also part of the lower engine mount right?

If you're taking the a/c out, cut the belt(if you haven't already), and go from there.

It's Very straight-foward, all you do is unbolt it.

 

ok awesome thanx then all the parts left are the compressor and the part under the pass. dash. Thanx a lot...

 

The compressor can be taken off, if you're referring to the one with the pulley on the end of it, lol.

Just take everything out of the engine bay, and when you get back to the firewall where the lines go into the cabin,
Just unbolt them, and leave that piece inside the car.

Otherwise you'd have to get some piece from an RS model to replace it inside.

 

ok thanx ill do that tomorrow when im changin the oil...
