    I watched several Youtube videos to take off my AC Compressor, it helped immensely.
  • I love it that you are so calm when making mistakes. No worries, I cussed for you. LOL !! Great video showing all the key points of this job.
  • @joecuts9881
    Great videos when people make mistakes and show them because it makes you remember and shows trial and error .. good job my brother
  • @HookCircle
    Thanks for sharing this. Looks pretty doable!
  • hi one question ,did you take out some oil from the new compressor to compensate the oil that is allready on the system from the old one compressor? .if not you are now above the pag oil capacity i think .
  • @68pishta68
    keep caps on before you install so it wont leak any new PAG oil anywhere, EZ enough when its in to remove those 2 caps. Good vid. Usually those are accessible from the bottom but yours looked like a top access.
  • Mine just blew up last week. With the start of winter here and not needing AC until spring can I operate my 04 TSX for a few months without causing any further mechanical harm? Very impressed with your skill and get it done attitude.
  • @rickxs619
    i have a 2004 tsx automatic i was looking underneath and there’s oil leak not sure if is from the AC compresor or somewhere else is there O rings to replace ??
  • @skommineni
    Hi thanks a lot for the video. How did you evacuate the ac lines. I mean how did you get the refrigerant out ? Did you use a recovery machine ?
  • What brand did you go with on the ac compressor, the link just shows a bunch of them not a specific one
  • Hey ik you prob wont respond but since my ac clutch doesn’t in gage it could be my relay right? Well i changed it right and its the same thing could it possibly be my ac clutch not working and i need to replace it ? If so should i change my whole compressor
  • @waynelash2070
    I recently bought an acura tsx 2010 and the compressor is broken on it. I was wondering if i could replace it with one from a different year and if that would work. Or if i need the one specifically for that year. pls help
  • @MrFizzleduex
    Thanks for the walk thru. I think you need to replace your condenser too bro, replace the desiccant, and flush out the evaporator. That black oil's telliin' me you had a catastrophic compressor failure and you need to get the contaminants out of the system.
  • Okay so I seem to have damaged a lot of the fins on my radiator while pulling the compressor and radiator in and out... Is this going to cause my car to overheat?
  • I just installed an ac compressor for a 2004 Acura TSX, the new Compressor instruction said that I needed to remove the oil the came with the compressor, it is my first time doing this, I noticed that you didn't drain the compressor oil from your Compressor. Is it ok to leave the compressor oil in the compressor?
  • @cmurda9388
    Hi, I have a 2007 Honda Accord Type S from Japan. Would this A/C compressor work for me?
  • @eddieacosta2520
    Hey I did my ac compressor just recently and I had a leak issue with the low pressure line where the line meets the compressor. Does your LP AC line have like a o ring or spacer ?? I’m completely confused
  • @MrHenryemurillo
    Hello , DID YOUR NEW COMPRESSOR COME PRE-filled with oil ????
