BlakesReatta Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Has anybody changed out the compressor before? It requires a lot of dismantling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakesReatta Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Mine is changed out with a brand new one now (not rebuilt), but wow I wouldn’t want to do it over again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit of a pain due to the location but it wasn't horrible. Maybe the multiple engine changes I have made helped become intimately familiar? Since I was also replacing the accumulator/drier and the condenser, the radiator and condenser were also out of the way making access much easier also.

We changed out the accumulator/drier and condenser too but I didn't take out the radiator. We ended up jacking up the engine a little bit and took out the motor mounts to make it easier to pull out the compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
