A/C Compressor Removal?
Does anybody know how many bolts hold the a/c compressor on? I removed the front two and it is hard to tell but I think I can see one or two more thru the frame but I am not sure. Do not want to remove a bolt that does not have to be especially thru a hole in the frame where it would be hard to install. Thanks

OOOOOH How I wish it was that easy hahaha. I have tried twice now and unsuccessful both times. I think my next step will be to raise the engine. I already purchased all the parts, compressor, condenser, evaporator, etc, otherwise I would have brought it to a shop by now.....oh and because they want my entire check plus the next 5 to change the compressor.

Ratcheting box wrenches are your friend for that rear bolt. I just did mine in my 03. I also replaced everything else while i was in there. The compressor is a real bitch to get out of there, especially the rear bolt. It might be worth taking the fan shroud out to get a little more room.
