Hello all, I've been trying to replace the compressor on my 2004 Accord V6 but I can't seem to remove this small metal pipe that connects the discharge hose to the compressor. I've stripped the bolts (5.5mm), managed to extract one, and broke the extractor in the other one. My luck has run out so I am looking to buy the little . Problem is that I can't find it (or what its called) anywhere. In the parts diagram it shows as part of the compressor assembly (even though a brand new one doesn't bring it) but is not labeled/sold. It does not come part of the hose assembly either. I am stumped . What should've been something simple has turned into probably the most ridiculous repair I've ever attempted . Please help me find this part. I have included a picture of the pipe and the diagram.

 

Take it to a shop and have them remove it for you
or buy a compressor from Honda.

 

I bought the OE compressor, $200 on rockauto. Did not bring the pipe. And yes that’s exactly what I did, I took it to a machine shop and they charged me $20 to remove it. I almost cried tears of joy and tipped the guy an extra $20 for getting it out in 10 minutes. At least now I know where to go when crap like this happens.

 

Glad you got it sort it out.

Rock Auto sells the same parts as the OEM supplier, not necessarily the same configuration.
The OEM compressor from Honda includes the pipe.
