Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

trying to remove ac Compressor like pelican parts said for engine drop but the compressor will not come out like the say. any tips for this? And oh my god that rear bolt is a bitch to remove. Thanks

POST 2Original post

If you remove the T intake plenum and get your left hand in there, the 3rd bolt will be very easy. Just wiggle the compressor gently and it should pull out easily. lift the rear bolt up as much as you can (otherwise it will hang on to the engine case) when you try to pull the compressor out.

POST 3Original post

First suck out as much power steering fluid as you can. To get to the rear bolt, remove the throttle body and t plenum behind it. Then remove the power steering fluid reservior. Then reach around with your left hand while you guide a socket extension from the top with your right hand between the intake plenum. Then it's not so bad. The two front bolts are dead simple to remove. Disconnect the one wire going to the compressor. Then the unit slides out and towards you. But then you have the gas to deal with, which should be evacuated and captured by a professional. Then once you've disconnected/reconnected the hoses, they need to be recertified, tested for leaks, and the system charged again.

POST 4Original post

Mr Benson's description is great .Seems like he and I must have done this recently? You can leave the hoses attached to the compressor while you do ... what? I hope you have a really good reason to inflict this torment on yourself? While you are in there- look carefully for little puddles of oil&/or coolant on top of the crankcase =leaking heat X The P/S O rings also harden - good time to replace them

Looks like you have a fuel cooler behind the compressor? https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...el-cooler.html
