Need help on gaining access to remove AC compressor. 2008 e350 “@&&!.
2008 e350 wagon.
Just replaced the entire intake manifold for a broken lever last month. Replaced thermostat, PCV valve, and water pump too. Now this.
The pulley from the ac compressor broke off And instead of replaceing the pulley and bearing I thought it would be better and easier to just replace the comepressor.
I searched all over YouTube for this one and a fairly deep search here prior to posting this request. I’m hoping some of you could help. I was able to remove the first( bottom) bolt of the compressor from the undercarriage with a wobble wrench. That was tight.
Now I need to access the remaining two bolts securing the compressor. Everything is really tight there. It looks like I will be able to access them through the wheel. If I remove the wheel guard. Any thoughts?
I also need to access the Allen bolts for the high and low side ports of the compressor. Those are going to be very tight and I’m not sure if I have to remove parts in order to do so. I tried loosening to the coolant tank but I’m afraid a lot of those parts are starting to notoriously crumble with age.
Any help and /or links to other threads on this board would be extremely appreciated.
