In this 4 part video series, I will demonstrate how I replaced an AC compressor on my 2003 Dodge Caravan. I will show the removal, installation, receiver drier replacement, vacuum pumping, and refrigerant charging steps for the AC system.

Should have replaced your oil pan gasket while you were down in the dirt
I will getting my self two sets of ratcheting, flex head wrenches from ebay 8-19mm and 5/16 – 3/4
This engine is practically rust free. My engine bay is held together by rust.
I'm definitely using my air ratchet on this project. I don't want to go through the wheel well. First the alternator. Then the ac lines. Then remove the compressor. This is an excellent video.
If you remove the alternator, no need to fiddle with tensioner.
Lets a squeeker go at 5:32. Lol
Do you need to replace the condenser when you do that also?
Excellent work, thank you for giving me the confidence!
An air compressor with an air ratchet would do wonders.
Thanks helped me lot
