Thread: Removing A/C Compressor

if your compressor went, you might have metal shavings in your lines, as well as blocking your orifice tube. a/c is the one thing i won't do myself, i'd rather sweat with the wind blowing than run around an a/c system fixing problem after problem.

my advice is to take it to a shop if you aren't experienced.

Replacing the a/c compressor is a rather simple process, but it just is somewhat time consuming from beginning to end. After removing the accessory belt, the a/c lines and then the compressor. You have to replace the compressor, the a/c lines, the accessory belt and then refill your system.
