Old compressor was dry.
One slight problem….I know it worked good for you but you are supposed to drain the old compressor and measure the contents. Then the new one drain all the oil and put the same amount of new oil you measured out of the old one. 5oz seems like its the whole system not just the compressor. Glad you didn’t have any problems
I didn’t remove any mount to get the belt off.

Hi again. Just wanted to add to clarify. It seems like I need to take off the front motor mount or dampener to remove the belt can’t see any other way to remove the belt but the motor mount is bolted on through frame and the nuts inside the frame are just spinning. Does this make sense or am I doing something wrong?
Hi thanks for the great video. I am trying to do the same thing. Having trouble with taking off front motor mount. Do you know if this is necessary? Do you have an email address so I can send you a picture.
This system had no freon,didnt u hear when i said that.
Why would you make a video with the proper installation of an ac compressor, and not show the right an proper way to vacume and recharge the system.
what?
@hp11208
Shere would you recommend buying my compressor & dryer ?
You can do it this way too,if your changing the belt.
loosen your belt first , then remove the compressor bolts and also remove one of the battery terminals as a security measure.
Bad idea to purchase a rebuilt compressor they only last about 8 months .
Thank you for quick response
That’s too much should be less than 500.
Hi, how much is it for the compresser part with labor you think? They are trying to charge me $900. Does that sound accurate anybody know
It was the compressor made that sound when I was turning it.
Sounded more like a dog trying to get a hairball out.
Glad to hear its fix,thanks for the update.
Greeting hp11208 i hope you’re well..i just want to update on The ac compressor that i had problem with,i had replaced The fan,drier and compressor itself, and now its good. Thank u for helping
Cool thanks.
just the nose blowing in the back ground cracked me up. good info. i got a 95 suburban. i did the jump the relay thing to see if the compressor would come on like you said and it kinda came on making a terrible noise. so now i know i gotta do what you show here. really helping me out since never messed with this before.
Okay….
lol 4:48
Just unbolt the small bolts holding it.
How do you disconect the lines?
Okay thanks for that info.
There is a plug on the compressor disconnect it and give it 12v to see if the clutch will spin.
If you have a Honda, check and see if it’s a scroll type of compressor. If so your in trouble! Your compressor is getting ready to lock up and may be already. Your compressor has exploded and has sent crap all up through your system and it ALL has to be replaced or you’ll be sorry. Your AC comes on with AC or defroster. Not the heater only.
Look, Honda has been having problems with the scroll type compressors for some time now and are being replaced at an alarming rate! Honda has been sued over this issue and refuses to change the compressor to a piston type. When the scroll compressor goes bad it contaminates the whole system and it all has to be changed! If not your just wasting your time! I am a HVAC tech! I have dealt with them and they suck! Honda engineers didn’t know but now paying for it. Still putting them on new cars!
Would you be able to explain the steps on how to give it direct power to see if it works?
This compressor was bad i gave it direct power it wont come on.Its better you replace the whole compressor and not just the clutch.
How did you check that the clutch was bad? When I turn the A/C or heater on I get a very bad noise but a mechanic told me the A/C clutch is what needs to be replaced.
You can take it off this way dummy,but when you putting it back on then you need to loosen the tensioner.So Gtfu dick head.
The belt is still on while you were taking out the bolts? Back yard mechanics! It’s no wonder the hospitals get costumers like you! Ya dip shit!
Anytime glad to help.
I just bought an expansion valve, and I’m going to chang it first and if that don’t work I will have to chang the whole compressor like u..thanks a gain
No problem.
Thank u..
Change the orfice tube,or there might be moisture in the system.
