So my grandfather has a '95 or '96 Accord EX v6, and he's telling me that his air conditioning is noisy. He took it to his mechanic, and was told that a bearing on the compressor was going, but he didn't want to fix it (mechanic is pushing 70 and getting ready to retire).

I'd like to figure this out and possibly fix this problem for him, but I have no clue how to approach this. I haven't personally heard the noise, but he says it's like a bearing dragging/scratching when the AC is on.

I looked on HondaAutomotiveParts.com and didn't really see any replaceable bearings, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right spot... I know nothing about servicing AC, so I'd be very appreciative of any insight.

 

Tuesday bump!

 

Which part number is the bearing?

 

you should just buy a used one w/ a warranty.

 

Blower Motor has leaves or something in it, Im a Honda tech and see cars come in all the time complaining about a bearing type noise when the ac is on. Take off your blower motor and clean it out
