In this video I remove and install a new OEM compressor on a customers 2009 Honda FIT with the big 1.5L. The compressor on the car is still good but the magnetic clutch has started to fail and the customer requested a whole new compressor.
-Enjoy!

You make this look so easy! I need to replace my compressor on my truck and not looking forward to it!
Hi Mr. O, I was wondering shouldn’t the in-line filter next to the accumulator been replaced??
Andy's Name was on the cool tech gauge….
South Main Auto.. When you switched funnels and Mrs. O said that's not that much bigger, that was funny. But when you said the other funnel is too big and Mrs. O said it's never too big, I laughed so hard my side started hurting. The commentary between you two is awesome!! Oh yeah nice job on the A/C work too. That looked like an easy one to do. Some can be a PITA.
Move to Florida!
I'm glad everyday is your first day. Don't make me feel bad when I'm the same way, daily first rodeo.
I agree with you because replacing O-rings on certain parts on cars tend to make them leak the old ones 80% of the time work better than the replacement ones
I love Mrs.O! She is a darling you’re a blessed man you found a real woman right there Brother ! the best to you and your family
all the shops in a 5 mile radius of my house, won't do a recover/recharge. they look at me funny when I ask and explain to them what i'm doing. mind you they ALSO don't want to do the work I'm trying to do, most of the time, since it's not "profitable".
I guess at that age requesting the compressor to be changed isn't that odd. I did the clutch replacement on my jeep's compressor last year, and it wasn't too bad a job, minus getting the clutch shimmed correctly.
Thanks for the video!
