  Q: How to remove A/C Compressor?

  A: To remove the air conditioning system, it is necessary to have the system discharged by a dealer service department or an automotive air conditioning shop. The drivebelt should be removed, and the vehicle should be raised and secured on jackstands. The right front wheel and fender splash shield should be removed, and the electrical connector from the compressor clutch field coil should be disconnected. For 4-cylinder models, the air injection pump should be removed, and the compressor inlet and outlet lines should be disconnected, with the old o-rings discarded. The compressor mounting bolts can then be removed. For V6 models, the compressor inlet and outlet lines should be disconnected, with the old o-rings discarded, and the compressor mounting bolts can be removed. When installing a new compressor, it is important to follow the directions regarding the draining of excess oil. The clutch may need to be transferred from the original to the new compressor. Before reconnecting the inlet and outlet lines, all manifold o-rings should be replaced and lubricated with refrigerant oil. The installation process is otherwise the reverse of the removal process. Finally, the system should be evacuated, recharged, and leak tested.
