David Williams says:

nice work Brian just one question did the new compressor come already filled with pag oil?

martin smythe says:

Great video! A little confused if the bolt hadn't broken would you still have needed to remove the alternator to do the compressor. thanks

Seandale Jackson says:

so flying over spending time being a father?

spelunkerd says:

Do you know when one would choose the copper antiseize over the silver variety? Is one better for aluminum/steel combinations?

A P says:

This was perfect for me, I'm replacing the compressor but leaving the gas removal and refill to the AC guy, so this was bang on as usual. Great vids.
Also agree about the bolts and brackets, better thing to do than clean those!

Edward David says:

another great one Brian. my legacy has the chirps, so looks like I will be doing the same.

QuantumRift says:

Use any anti-seize to keep it from snapping off in the future?

Edward Grabinsky says:

hey brian. you rock.

jimbola77 says:

thank's brian for sharing there partner, I enjoy all your high quality work along with eric the car guy! but shouldn't you have a proper recovery cylinder? I'm not being a know it all but iv'e never seen that done before I take it to a shop and they will recover it for free.

Josh Zotz says:

Hey Bryan. I have a question. I was thinking about getting a 2012 Forester but after much research, I've found that many Subarus burn a lot of oil. Are you aware of this? Would you recommend this car to anyone? And what do you think the repair would require; more specifically, is it worth it to repair this issue?

James Tennier says:

Brian; any thoughts pro or con regarding the auto parts house's "Fix your A?C yourself " kits in a can? I've a Honda and a Freightliner that blow 50 degree cold air. Dealers and shops can be very expensive.

SGDeGalvez says:

any experience or opinions about the inline transmission filters? I have a KIA that has a 'unserviceable' transmission filter, which maketh me nervous.

thnx for the vids

TechNWRO TE says:

I appreciate all the effort you put into these videos. If we where closer together I would definitely stop in for major service on my Scobie.

sixtyfiveford says:

Awesome. Nicely done. I've never had one take the refrigerant that fast.

Steve Barber says:

Bryan Jacobs says:

as a Nissan mastertech I can confirm your videos are top notch!
keep up the great work! being from Florida I definitely so not envy the rust you see up there!

Doug's Projects says:

You used what appeared to be a copper based anti seize, not an aluminum based one.
Copper and Aluminum don't mix well together, they tend to grow on each other.

Michael Herbert says:

Great video man. I appreciate the time and effort you put into it. Your repair videos are always detailed and full of real world advice. I've learned so much from you, Thank you.
