Please guys this is so important...my A/C compressor is just flopping around in my engine bay. Anyone can tell me how to remove that A/C bracket please!?

 

ok for the bracket, the bolts are behind the compressor. do u have all visible bolts out? i think theres one at the back of the compressor by the block, feel around with ur finger and see if theres one there, im not 2 sure. but if u got all visible bolts out then it could just be lodged(i mean its been there for 20yrs) so just take a pry bar and wedge it in between the bracket and comp and give it a few tugs, i hope u already got ur rad out, its much easier

 

dont answer any of his ?s let him figure it out for his slef hes baliing on us hes tryin to get rid of his 2nd gen cause hes tired of it i have no feelings for people tryin to get rid of there 2nd gen or no pitty

 

Well sorry, but I've never actually owned a car that's....ya know....decent. I have never once in my life owned a car that had a working A/C, CD player, and decent paint.

But I'm considering keeping my lude much more now....because I thought there was something really wrong with it. There was a terrible noise comming from the engine bay.......it turned out to be the A/C compressor hanging in there by one bolt. So now I don't feel so bad about the car..........so I need help getting this thing out so I WILL want to keep the car, because right now it's making tons of noise and sounds like crap.

 

Guys PLEASE!!!! I have two hours before i have to go to work and I can't drive my car! How do I get the A/C compressor OUT?

 

shoudl slip out somehow, thro the bottom mabey? i dont know i took mine off my motor when it was out fo the car. tis still on 1.8 in teh car tho.

 

Crap! I finally got the bracket out but it's still too big to fit through either the top or the bottom. Somebody out there has to have taken there's out before please I need to get this out immeditely. Where does it fit?

 

Well after finally getting the bracket out.......which was next to impossible I spent about an hour trying to figure out how to get the thing out of the engine bay. No room from top, no room from bottom. Apparently Honda did not make them to ever be changed with the engine in the bay. Well finally after throwing my back out I got so angry I did a "hulk" and just ripped it out with all of my strength. I hurt myself, bent a few things, ripped a few wires....but when I finally got it out I must have thrown it 25 feet. Here's my suggestion.......if you're A/C doesn't work......just leave it in!

But it was surprisingly heavy and I know I've gotten rid of at least another 10 pounds of crap I don't need.

 

I just weighed it. 20lbs with all of the hoses.

 

nice, good work. sounds like the first time i changed my alternator, couldn't figure out how to get it out of the car once everything was unbolted

 

If it gets too bad, all you do is unbolt a few motor mounts and jack the motor up an inch or two with the floor jack. Works pretty nicely

fucken eh' hahaha that would work too
im such a newbie when it comes to all these mechanics tricks.

 

me too.........I never think about unbolting the motor! for some reason that just sounds insane........and dangerous.

 

well i just got home and to read this is kinda shitty.. when i took my a/c crap out i unbolted the rad from the supportmoved it out of the way and took the compressor out from the front.the bracket has either 4 or 6 bolts going into the block. I think it was last january when i finally got around to doing it, but that's the short of how to get it out.
