THANK YOU!!! For understanding the way I’m trying to make this channel become. You have no idea how much I appreciate those who understand this over the daily criticism 😂
@@TexThaiAuto I’m a mechanic by trade, and sometimes youtube videos help, like for this situation my buddy on the other side of the state (who isnt a mechanic), but is pretty mechanically inclined, asked me if he could do this job by himself, and i was explaining a general sense of what you would have to do, and i told him you may or may not have a hard time accessing the bolts to remove the compressor, being that the motor is side to side, things can get pretty tight and you may have to remove a motor mount to get more access, a quick search and a video to see someone else removing and installing a part that I’ve never installed on a particular model of car gave me the answer, so thank you!
I always thought you had to remove the PS pump and the alternator to get a good angle on the AC compressor. So it's not true? You can just unbolt the compressor from the bottom with that stuff in the way?
so you evacuated system. when you closed the lines up again. how much oil did you inject into the system? did the oil come in separate can for does it come with the 134a? thank you
Also normally everything mentioned but the expansion valve would be replaced. The system would also be flushed to clear out any potential metal shavings as well. But like I said, the customer only wanted to replace the compressor with a used one, even after explaining the normal procedures needed to be done.
If you’re not replacing the belt then you will not have to worry about messing with the power steering pump. There should be two separate belts and the power steering pump has its own that connect to the crank pulley.
@@TexThaiAuto ok thank you, when removing the ac compressor do I need to do anything with ac pipes/freon first? Or can I just begin to unbolt and remove compressor?
Release the Freon from the system first then remove the AC lines from the compressor. It’s also a good idea to replace the o rings on the lines as well. You do not have to replace the lines unless they are leaking.
Is no one going to comment In here how much of a pain in the ass it was to remove the top bolts? And then how much of a pain in the ass it is to put it back in and rotate it as you say with the bolts. Literally hardest puzzle out there

I wish all videos were like this super straight forward and explained well

Great video very informative thanks for sharing!

Work angles.
my car is extremely hard to get at. I think I might have to remove the PS pump and the alternator to be able to put the new AC compressor back in.
besides the refrigerant, doesn't the compressor get some type of oil in it?
I believe usually you do that when they are brand new idk about a used one correct me if I’m wrong
Que informação valiosa obrigado por compartilhar..
Forte abraço fique com Deus...

Where is that 10mm on the left of the compressor?
How much of a job like this cost???
So how do you release the gas?
Take it somewhere where they can empty before you start then refill when your done
what was that cable you removed in the beginning?
The connector to the AC compressor?
so you evacuated system. when you closed the lines up again. how much oil did you inject into the system? did the oil come in separate can for does it come with the 134a? thank you
I believe it was about 2-4 ozs that was in a separate container.
Badass video
I wish you showed more on the liquids
TexThaiAuto, why did you not change the Drier, Expansion Valve, orings or pag oil? There could be metal shavings in the parts.
Customer provided used part and only paid for labor, therefore what was paid for was what was only done.
Also normally everything mentioned but the expansion valve would be replaced. The system would also be flushed to clear out any potential metal shavings as well. But like I said, the customer only wanted to replace the compressor with a used one, even after explaining the normal procedures needed to be done.
Do you need to remove power steering to but a belt back? Or can you do it with just tire off?
If you’re not replacing the belt then you will not have to worry about messing with the power steering pump. There should be two separate belts and the power steering pump has its own that connect to the crank pulley.

@@TexThaiAuto ok great thank you very much sir I am going to attempt all this soon!
Can I replace my compressor and then drive somewhere to get the system filled/recharged, as long as I dont turn the AC on?
I’ve never done this myself but theoretically it should be ok.
so you didn't have to remove the tension bracket above the compressor to remove it. i couldn't see if the bracket was removed or not
I did not, however it does make it a lot easier if you do so.

Don’t know how u guys did it so smooth or just are not addressing how hard it actually is
@@marcinzygmunt4411 It requires a universal attachment
The right amount of extensions and universal joints and tools always helps making things run smoothly
