Default noob question

drive a 94 prelude si

the bearing on my a/c compressor seized up and i need to remove the compressor and replace the bearing and possibly the clutch...there is a huge plastic shield blocking the bottom and i have to go through the alternator and some other **** to get to it from the top...what's the best way to go about doing this? thanks

take everything in your way off,

installation is the reverse of removal...

good luck!

BTW - i prefer to go in from unerneath, but you will need to work from both the top and bottom...

see HERE: http://icelord.net/honda/repair/ for a manual to help you !!!

it is held in by hte force of the lower brackets bushing...

you need to stick a large screwdriver or pry bar inbetween and wiggle it to give it some space...

it should come out fine once you do that

good luck!
