My AC compressor went out and the pulley seized up so I'm going to be replacing it but it's all the way at the bottom of the motor. If I take out the pwr str pump and the alt, will I be able to replace the compressor or will I have to lift out the motor? It didn't really look like pulling it from the bottom would much easier. Anyone that has done this and has some advise/tips for me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

It's simple to pull from the top, just don't damage the lines or the receiver drier. Don't take the hoses off of your power steering pump either, you can just move it over. You'd better take it to a shop to have them drain the freon for you, I doubt they'll charge you because they'll end up selling your freon to someone else. You could also drain the freon yourself, but it's kind of illegal.

 

yea, I just moved the pwr str pump to the side w/o removing the lines. thanks for the help!
