To me it sounds like a stopped up orifice. Have you checked the orifice? Thanks Michael and Aaron

Most compressors I buy have oil already in the new assembly. My A/C machine adds oil. Recourse manufacture information for proper oil filling procedures. Or as a rule of thumb 3oz or so for a compressor and around 1.5oz for a dryer. Generally this will leave the A/C system in a good place. Once again those are around about figures, not specifications. Do not sue me if it goes wrong. Always use proper manufacture information. Thanks Michael and Aaron.

Compressor repair is not something we do when they are locked up. This is due to cost of parts and time to do it. At that point it is cheaper to replace the compressor. I actually do not even know where to get internal compressor parts. Thanks Michael and Aaron

AutoEclinic says:

Yes, we realized this after uploading the video. For that reason we made it transparent and smaller.

Aclo Clor says:

also the video was to show how to FIX the compressor not replace it? Can the AC compressor be fixed or does it always have to be replaced when it doesn’t turn?

Aclo Clor says:

you keep your website address showing in the way of watch your fix? need to remove it so you can see the full instruction/removal?

Richard Brown says:

I watched a different, more complicated video that mentioned adding oil to thr compressor and drier  i think. Is this necessary or are they pulling our leg?

Excellent video! I could find the orrafice filter in my 93 GMC for nothing until I saw your video! Thanks!!!

AutoEclinic says:

The size is M6 X 3 X 1.81. Just remember that if you use a regular bolt grind one side of the head flat so you can slide it past the compressor.

AutoEclinic says:

The bolts you are talking about are application specific. One side of the head of the bolt head is flat so you can slide it past the compressor. The correct GM part number is 10085707 and cost $3.91 per bolt. They come in a pack of 5 so if you give me a general idea of your location I can maybe locate a dealer with stock where you won’t have to buy 5.

I have a 1990 silverado with a v8 5.7 TBI engine and i (lost?) the 2 bolt where you tighen the ac compressor to the bracket. Can you tell me the size bolts and thread or where to buy them? Thanks!

AutoEclinic says:

We changed that on our newest videos to a smaller lighter and somewhat transparent logo to the bottom right hand corner of the screen. That seems to work much better on not covering up anything important.

Banner needs to be see thru

AutoEclinic says:

Yeah, live and learn.
