Special Tool for A/C Compressor Removal

Post by **ronaldo2526** » 24 Jun 2011, 17:39

Is there a special wrench or tool to reach the compressor mounting bolts? It looks like it might be a 14mm, but I can be sure. I can't reach in there to get the tool on the bolt let alone turn it.

no not a special tool but if your trying to remove it you need to remove a bunch of other stuff. Just be prepaired to squeeze and get scratched up fyi.

Yep, got mine out with standard sockets and wrenches. Had to remove fan shroud and loosen or move a bunch of other stuff too. Don't forget about the access thru the passenger side fender lining. Wear a long sleeved shirt and gloves cause you WILL get scraped up. Good luck!
