  Q: How to remove and install an air conditioning compressor?

  A: Have the air conditioning system discharged and recovered by a dealer service department or automotive air conditioning shop. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Disconnect both refrigerant lines from the compressor by removing the refrigerant line nut and bolt. Plug all open fittings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture into the lines. Loosen the right front wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the splash shield below the engine to gain access to the air conditioning compressor. Remove the drivebelt. Disconnect the electrical connector from the compressor. Remove the compressor mounting bolts and remove the compressor from the engine compartment. If you are installing a new compressor, the cycling clutch assembly may have to be transferred to the new compressor. The removal of the clutch assembly will require the use of several special tools; this procedure should be done by an air conditioning shop or dealer service department. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the compressor mounting bolts to the torque. Do not use old O-rings for the refrigerant lines; replace with new ones and apply compressor oil to them before installation. Reconnect the battery and perform the necessary re-learn procedures. Have the air conditioning system evacuated, recharged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.
