Thank you so much for posting this. It gives me piece of mind that it's not such an atrocious job and that I don't need a lift to get into these areas. You made it look like such a simple task, although I know I'll be fighting with it at first. Awesome video! Thanks again!
I changed my compressor yesterday. The only trouble I had was I didn't pull the collar up 4:11 high enough. I had my finger under it and it wouldn't budge. I then pulled the collar up higher and the hose came right off. Thanks again from Canada.
@@fernandocoronel6116 I didn't bleed them. To get it 100% empty the system would have to be evacuated by a shop. I emptied the oil from the old compressor and my new compressor came pre-filled with oil. There was a little more in the old compressor so I added the difference back into the new compressor. I went to this video to vacuum and recharge the system. "How to Pull a Vacuum and Recharge Your AC System - ULTIMATE GUIDE - HVAC"
Are you supposed to vacuum the ac lines? I need to do this but I read online that you need to be careful with the refrigerant inside the lines and you need to vacuum them? Is that true?
@@dy9amo91 we ended up taking the car to a nearby shop that installed the ac compressor we bought. the charged us $600 to replace and install the new one. we didnt want to to deal with the refrigerant...
@@katherinereyna2153holy 🤣 600$ to replace an ac compressor is highway robbery ac compressor itself is 200-300$ and 300+ for labor is crazy when it only takes 1-2 hrs is you know what you’re doing. A shop would’ve bled your lines for 50$ then all you’d have to do is replace it yourself and go back so they can refill it
This is a good video for vacuuming and charging the system. th-cam.com/video/ebCnnX4hpEk/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgwQnCQ7NhpHeQU_R9p4AaABAg.9QUuRDGOWbXA4xZpny1j-u

That area is super accessible once the intake pipes are out of the way. Did you end up doing this job?
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for taking the time to capture this!

Freak! This video is about 30 min long that means it will take me a week to complete 💀
I'm no mechanic and it took me about 2 hours.
@@Ricky_Masonhow did you bleed your lines out ??

Hello what are the socket sizes for the 3 bolts holding the compressor?
Are you supposed to vacuum the ac lines? I need to do this but I read online that you need to be careful with the refrigerant inside the lines and you need to vacuum them? Is that true?
I'm curious about this too. I also read/saw that.
any update on this?
