how to install a ac compressor?

Question

I got a 92 Toyota Pickup and the AC compressor has gone out.. It is freakin' hot without it, let me tell you! Is it worth it to buy and save $700 trying to put it in myself?

Answer 1

Fine out if any off your family or friends have done this type of job, and know how to do it safely, and have the right tools for the job.
I do not wish to see anyone get hurt working on A/C systems that have not been trained to do this work.
It is always better to pay for the job to be done right the first time, then to lose your eye sight or something worse.

Answer 2

well you have to have the freon removed this machine cost half as much as a new car once that's done remove compressor remove drier an or expansion valve replace all with new making sure u replace new gaskets or seals OOPS forgot flush system to clean out crud from old compressor . Look at com presser make sure it has oil in it if not fill to the required amount with the proper oil now system is all sealed up hook a vacuum machine up using proper gages for ac when the proper vacuum is reached hold it for 5 to 10 minutes if it holds ( vacuum pump not running ) refill with the required amount of freon ac gages 150vacuum pump cheep one 100 unit to evact system an flush 2000 plus misc tools for removing fitted lines 200 new parts camp gaskets ect 600= about 3000 bucks take it to ac shop about a 1000 bucks your choice u do it or they do it but go ahead fix it your self an save money fixing it

No even if you do put it on yourself the system would still need to be evacuated, requiring it to go to the mechanic. and then charged with the proper amount. Over charging would cause seal leaks and undercharging would cause the system not to work efficeintly. And if you buy a reman compressor be prepaired to replace it within the year, from my experience only buy a NEW compressor.
