how to remove the a/c compressor from 1990 Buick Reatta and replace

[Roger Siegfried]

I need to remove the a/c compressor from my 1990 Buick Reatta and replace with a new one.

 

How to get the old compressor out and what parts do I need???

Just pull the radiator & comes out the top. Some bolts are easier through the wheel well. Be aware there are two different HR-6 compressors, one that uses O'rings to seal the hoses and another that uses a flat shim arrangement.
