I appreciate your videos because they tell me if I even want to attempt the project myself. I’ve had 8 minute 1A auto videos take me hours or days to fix myself. Almost half an hour and one of the first things you take out is the power steering reservoir… hmmm… no thanks 😅
To anyone who's doing this procedure on any Ford 4.0 sohc, you don't really need to disconnect the lines to the power steering reservoir, at least on our 99 Explorer it was pretty easy to just push it aside, and I still had plenty of room to work. I also removed the battery and battery tray and that made it easy.
At 1:42, you reference a plastic hose. That is snapped on my truck. What is that called? 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Without it, the whole engine runs rough and barely starts
I have an 11 Camry le and I need to do both my water pump and ac compressor, expansion valve, and condenser. I’ve been trying to gather as much information as I can, because I’m going to use the machines at my workplace to perform evacuations of refrigerant as well as pulling a vacuum after new parts are installed. I noticed some people mention covering the ac lines to keep moister and debris out, as well as replacing all gaskets/seals. When getting a prefilled condenser, I had also read that you should completely drain it and spin the clutch to get all the pag oil out so that you can measure and insert the proper amount. Is this ideal? I want to make sure I’m doing this one time because the fellow who helped me with my ac compressor last time didn’t want to replace components thus creating premature failure. Sorry for the long message, appreciate any response.
Is the compressor preoiled, or do you have to put more oil in? If the shop doing the install has a big machine that adds the refrigerant, should I manually add oil first?

can you do a video on replacing the ac evaporator.

When & where do you add oil?

Is the compressor pre oiled/charged or do I need to add my own

I would recomend replacing the bolts with standard m8.8 hardware
My compressor is fairly new. My problem is the switch plug.
Any video for the same thing on a 03 explorer 4.0 2wd base style? I think it’s a xlt or xls (not the sport trac or sport anything)
