Well last night josh n I tried to take of this stupid compressor and we couldnt get to the bolt in the back ?? how do you get to it/remove it @$$%^% ? ( (we got on to the bolt but there wasnt mush leverage) bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :zlove: :bash: :bash: :zlove:
pretty much... wasted a good night.. grrr by the time shaq left at 11.30.. then i had a shower, then a shag.. i didnt get to sleep til 11.36. grrrr
Tordek used a 14mm wrench from the front to undo Daves. Otherwise just do what the engine pull guide recommends and use a 14 mm crows foot on a 9" extension to get to it from the front.
To get that off its best done with a cut off ring spanner a long extension and a mallet. Also probably need a cut-off spanner to get off one of the gas lines that goes to the compressor, again with extension bar and mallet. Good luck. Cheers, Peter
i've used a short spanner and a long screwdriver for leverage. has worked for me in the past. put the ring spanner on the bolt head then lever the open end with the screwdriver wedged between the spanner and the block.
Hmm, George (mmmdreg) and I pulled the compressor out of his old wreck and put it into his next car. It was some time ago, but I can't remember any problems apart from the usual cramped engine bay and a few scratches on hands and arms. (And it RAINED)
ITs out finally. All it needed was some WD 40 14 mm cut off spanner... Thanks for all your help :zlove: :biggrin:
