Best Answer

First you must remove all pressure from the system if it is charged. After doing so, proceed to remove the serpentine belt by using a wrench on the belt tensioner. Going in from underneath you must disconnect the plug connected to the pulley and then unscrew the bolts that connect the A/C hose to the compressor. Then you will need to use a socket wrench to undo four bolts that retain the body of the compressor to the engine block. With either pliers or a screw driver you must disconnect the lower radiator hose from the radiator and fold it out of the way. Now the compressor should drop down with a bit of fenagling. To install do reverse. NOTE: Do yourself a favor and try to purchase a new one with pulley and A/C clutch already installed, for if you do not the journey has only just begun.
