The replacement I ordered for mine (99 Park Avenue) also did not come with a stud or bolt. However, I was able to thread the nut onto the stud then use one of the nuts from the front of the bracket as a jam nut and screw the stud out of the old compressor to thread into the new one. Worked like a charm.
thanks! its in winter storage right now, but will be doing struts, trans mount, and paint work on it this summer. Also had custom wheels made for it too
Good looking car I like that supercharger .on that bolt that holds the lines on I used to 13 mm nuts and back out that stud on the old one and reused it on my new compressor😉
usually they wont engage at first you need to jump the ac clutch relay so you can load refrigerant in it. Once full it will work like normal the cars have low pressure sensors that prevent the clutch from kicking on when refrigerant is too low (like it is after a compressor swap)
@@CaptainThirdGen thanks for the reply. I took it to a shop after replacing the compressor and he said the clutch was bad but it’s brand new. One more question if he couldn’t get the clutch to engage, then do you think there is Freon in it? This is my second time paying to have a vacuum and recharge and still no ac
@@headhoncho4890 if the clutch is actually bad id get a warranty replacement but if the clutch is not engaging, the sysyem is never going to charge. Clutch needs to be engaged with engine on to charge system
this compressor was prefilled out of the box. If yours is not, id add around 2-3oz or so and see how that works. If its still noisey, add pag oil until its quiet

Jus changed mine on a 97 Buick lesabre you save me time trying figure out what size bolt goes in there THANK YOU
Thanks I'm going to replace mine now.
I bought the same compressor . What are the chances the clutch is bad out the box. It won’t engage.

Hey I bought another compressor where do I put the oil in the compressor. And do you know if there’s a diode on the wiring from the factory
@@headhoncho4890 you put the oil in the refrigerant line hole.
Bro is that a supercharger?!?
Park Avenue Ultras are supercharged, yes
Did you add any oil and if you did add oil which hole do you add oil
this compressor was prefilled out of the box. If yours is not, id add around 2-3oz or so and see how that works. If its still noisey, add pag oil until its quiet
@@CaptainThirdGen yet but does it matter which of the holes I put the oil in? I really appreciate your response
@@sauljob2396 the hole where the refrigerant lines plug in. The refrigerant and oil are in the same system
@@CaptainThirdGen thank you sir
That supercharger belt came on it, or did u add that yourself?
the car was factory supercharged
Have ro screw the stud out of the old one
This is video. Instead of describing it show it. These videos are the reason RUclips should show dislikes
thanks, Ill try to grow another hand so I can record and do the job at the same time
useless video, doesnt show where you pulled it out from
@@adamlittle974 compressor comes out from the bottom. I only have so many hands
He shows where he pulled it out.. 11:55.
Pay attention.
