This one of the most easiest thing you can do and save hundreds on
labor. If you really hardcore you can just replace the A/C
compressor Clutch by itself. The AC compressor clutch is
the most common problem with AC failure.
Before you remove the compressor, you must release the pressure.
There is valve located near the passenger side in the engine
bay. Its like a bicycle tire type of valve. Use a
screw driver and press it. Make sure u stand away and wear
safety glasses. After u have release the AC Compressor
pressure, then u can go to the next step. There are 3 14
mm bolts you need to remove. One on top and two located
under the car. You will need to jack the car up in order
to access those bolts.
There are two 12mm nuts on the compressor u need to remove.
They stabilized the Discharge Hoses along with two wire plugs.
If you are a hardcore guy and want to save even more money and
only if you know the clutch is bad. Here are the
directions on the removal and installation of the ac compressor
clutch.
