Anyone put a new compressor in by themselves? How hard was it to do, and how long did it take you? Did you use just normal hand tools?

 

My engine is out of the car right now and changing the compressor was real easy. Looking at its position, I bet it won't be much more complicated with the engine in the car. You will have to let the freon out of the system to change it though. If I am not mistaken, it's held in place with 2 or 3 bolts at most. I changed it in like 10 minutes.

 

yeah letting out the freon shouldn't be a problem because thats the reason why i'm having to replace the compressor
