Compressor

REMOVAL
1. Discharge the A/C system.




2. Remove the A/C compressor to condenser discharge line bolt. Plug the A/C compressor outlet fitting to prevent moisture from entering the system.
3. Disconnect the A/C compressor to condenser discharge line from the A/C compressor.




4. Remove the evaporator to compressor suction line fitting bolt from the A/C compressor. Plug the A/C compressor inlet fitting to prevent moisture from entering the system.

6. Loosen the RH top A/C compressor bolt and remove the three remaining A/C compressor bolts.
