The trick was to notch bolt hole in the bracket where it bolts to the block. That lets you pull the compressor with bracket still attached, just by loosening the rear bolt to the block. Also replacing the stud with a bolt made access much easier.JohnHere wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 4:05 pm You definitely don't want a front mounting ear to break off of a new compressor after going through all the work and expense of repairing, evacuating, and recharging the system. And it won't be covered under warranty, as Tim alluded. Can you jack-up the engine a little bit to gain some clearance for bolt removal? You might have to disconnect the motor mount on that side to do so, although I'm not sure about that.
