Replacing AC Compressor - Help

[evillecutter]

i had mone done professionally but my mechanic said it wasnt that hard to get to and he didnt have to remove anything else - the system has to be charged anywys when you take it off so unless you have that equipment i suggest just bringing it to a reputable a/c and having them do it - wither way its a good thing you got the correct one beforehand as they will never be able to find the right one in the parts books

As it turns out the 02 Trooper AC Compressor from eBay is not a match from mine. Its almost the same but the Refrigerant Line Connector hole is angled horizontal and mine is facing upwards...

I have the front right wheel off and I am able to see it more clearly now. I have 3 bolts left and they are proving to be very difficult to remove. I had the system evacuated already and was going to refill when I replaced the AC. I guess when and if I do get the compressor off I will try and get the bearings replaced in the clutch and return the one from eBay. I have no idea how im going to unscrew the bolts that are left, the steering link is in the way.
