A/C Compressor Replacement

[INASNT]

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to replace the aic con compessor on my 1990 LS400/Celsior.

The clutch on mine at the moment is shagged and I managed to find a working second hand one for a good price and might attempt to install it this weekend.

first you need to degas the system (by law the gas is suppose to be kept not let loose in to the air), then you need to remove the a/c pipes, wires and compressor bolts (there should be 3 of them) that hold it to the engine. Then to reassembly just do it in reverse, but you will either need special tools or some one to regas it for you. Or you can just get some one who has all the right gear to do it for you.
