SC4NLV

ive tried searching but nothing to specific comes up. Maybe im missing something, but for some reason i am uable to remove it. I have pryed on it and there is a gap, but i still cant get it to come off. I have removed the crankshaft pulley and cover already. any help would be appreciated.

don't pry anymore, you might brake one of the tabs. At about 4 o'clock the is another bold that is difficult to see, you need to be under the car to see it. 14mm and one of the tabs is on alignment with the ac compressor using the same bolt. Ac compressor has to be flexed a bit to get movement.

Once you get that bolt off that goes through the compressor into the bracket, and if you made sure to get the one underneath near the oil filter, just loosen the bolt on the back of the compressor a little and the front will drop enough to slide the bracket off. You wont be able to see this bolt but you can easily feel it and reach it with a ratchet since its axis is transverse.

ok thanks i got that,the pump is now loose. any ideas on how to get that rear a/c compressor bolt? it seems to be a little stripped, i am using a 14mm 6 point socket with a 4 inch extension, and a adjustable ratchet.

I can't remember which socket size it was but I did use a ratchet with a 4in extension as well. If it is stripped you are gonna have to try something else, though.

I just did this, and the ****ing thing was awful, set me back sooo much time, I used a box wrench and alot of patience. If its stripped, there are sockets at can be hammered on that grip the bolt, you may just have to find a way to press it on, since theres no room to hammer it.

ok looks like im just going to have to improvise, thanks for all your help. Yea it is awful, i thought i would save some money and do it myself. Its not so much difficult as it is time consuming.
