a/c compressor

Due to a crappy puller while changing the pulley on my air conditioning compressor I need to replace the compressor. Are there any o rings or anything else I should get for the job since the system will be empty?

Can you get away with just replacing the clutch assembly, or did you booger up the whole shibang?

I would imagine that there are o-rings where the lines connect to the compressor. How are you going to empty the system? If it were me I would go ahead and replace them been as they will be right there.

there will be some sort of o-ring or seal there. i would have someone at a shop empty it and charge it for you. definately DO NOT charge it with the "conversion kits" you can get at autozone, they call em "death kits"

No worries. I have a friend that owns a shop with a machine.

yeah, the seals at the lines should be replaced. If you luck out, they'll come in the box with the new compressor. If not, they should only be about $.30 each.. make sure you get like 4 oz' of compressor oil too.. or you'll be doing it again in about ten days...
