This is not a DIY job. It is illegal to release refrigerant into the atmosphere. Special equipment must be used to purge the system before removing and re-installing the compressor. The new compressor and system must then be charged correctly with refrigerant and oil. Take it to a professional.
Usually the shaft seal is installed from inside the compressor housing and is not serviceable. You would need to replace the compressor.
Located below the A/C compressor, it has the lower radiator hose attached to it and is held on by (2) 10mm bolts. You can change it with the A/C compressor installed, but will find it easier with the A/C compressor loose and out of the way.
if you havent ever changed one before then you shouldn't mess with it, the freon inside the compressor is poisionest, it needs to be drained, new compressor installed, filled with dye to test for leaks, drained again and then re-fill with freon.
To change the compressor on a system containing R-410A you must isolate the compressor then?
No you don't have to change the A/C Compressor.

Yes the compressor and ventilator can change positions; when the person giving compressions is ready to change, he calls for 'change" on the last compression.
You cannot change the compressor bearing, however, you can change the clutch bearing. Which one is bad? Is there a noise when the clutch is engaged, or not engaged?
