The compressor is simple to remove assuming there is no more freon left in your system If this is not the fact, you will need to have the freon vacummed out, and this can only be done at a repair shop. As far as I know it is against the law to bleed Freon out into the air. to remove the compressor, first you need to remove tension on the serpentine belt by turning the belt tensioner. once the belt is off, you can unplug the electrical sensor. the compressor is held into the bracket by a number of bolts. on the pully side all the bolts are 13mm. there are 3 of them. on the back of the compressor there are 3 more bolts, these bolts being 10mm in size. remove the A/C lines and pull the compressor out of its bracket.
