Subject:      AC Compressor Mount Bracket Removal - 2.1L WBX
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

Anyone have any suggestions as to howe tho get this beastie loose so it
can be pulled???

I need to make a repair on the bushings for the bolts that hold the AC
compressor in place. Someone in the past screwed them up bigtime, and I
have left it untouched until now. But I need to work on the system,
remove the compressor for re-working of the mounting ears on the
compressor case, and some other stuff. Can't budge the bolts holding the
compressor to the mount bracket. So, thought I would just remove the
entire thing as one assembly. AC compressor, cast mount bracket and all.

Is there anything under that bracket I need to worry about. Is it just
surfave mounded or does it have a gasket under it and seals something.
Am I opening a can of worms??

I need to get the system repaired and serviced before it really gets hot
here so I'm getting on it.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
