A/C Compressor removal
Still working on this 5.4L removal and am trying to get the A/C compressor off the block. I have removed the three bolts but the compressor is stuck pretty good. Is there something else holding it on that I need to remove or just apply a couple hammer blows?
Thanks in advance.

There are just the 3 bolts if I recall correctly. I also seem to recall there being a couple of metal inserts around 2 bolts on some models. Those will keep the compressor from sliding side to side, so you'll have to pry it straight out and away from the block.

Well I finally got the compressor off. Turns out one of the bolts bent slightly when I first started loosening it before it broke off about half-way down the shaft. A lot of wiggling and prying later she finally broke free from the block/bolt.
