How do you replace an ac compressor for 2002 suzuki grand vitara xl7?

Warning; pressurized refrigerant can cause injuries, do not disconnect lines with the system still pressurized. Before you go into the expense of replacing the compressor, be sure you arent just low on refrigerant (R-134A). There are also several fuses and much cheaper pressure sensors in the system. Lastly, if the compressor goes out there may be metal shavings in the system there are other parts you would need to replace as well or risk damaging a new compressor. If you are sure its a bad compressor: haynes and chiltons have manuals that will walk you through a repair step by step and the books are about $15. They cover every system in your car, include troubleshooting instructions, and are well worth the cost. Also...walk in to any autozone, napa, or oreilly's, the guys behind the counter will be very helpful.
