AC Compressor (Denso) - amzn.to/45KqOZY TYC Condenser - amzn.to/3PXJijS Vacuum Pump - amzn.to/4cCe8sw Good luck as you replace your AC compressor!

Made it look so easy, I figure I could do this in 90 minutes max. I am now preparing for 4 hours of unavoidable labor that I brought onto myself

I'm gonna clear an afternoon at this point. This makes it look like a quick bing bang boom done. The starter didn't seem too bad until I was trying to remove a misthreaded and melted bolt. Ended up calling my grandfather to borrow his pneumatic tools because I apparently didn't have a breaker bar long enough 🤬

Solid video. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend. Gonna try the old autozone spray can stuff first to see if that does the trick

Fantastic video! Thank you so much for making it!

best video so far. Just replace clutch assembly 2004 3.0 Accord, wasn't the problem; compressor. Not sure I want to do the compressor switcherony without the AC pump apparatus. Damn.

Bummer!

What to do about charging the ac houses? Do you need to bleedfirst

With mine the compressor doesn't make any noises or anything, the pulley isn't seized and the clutch spins freely when you turn it by hand, I tested the wiring and relays to it but unfortunately that wasn't the issue, I'm going to just replace the compressor but is the condenser necessary in my case? I'm somewhat working on a tight budget, and your video is very helpful, great way of showing the steps.

I have the 2009 accord 2.4 trying to find out if I can replace the clutch assembly from under the car or through the wheel well

I was thinking the same for my 02 but I just have the whole thing replaced

Great job! I was wondering if the accumulator/drier came with the condenser? All the pics and even the manufacturer website shows without. I even called TYC and they said no. I have it on order thur your amazon link but hope it comes with it. Thanks again

I didn't need to order it separately when I bought it 1 yr ago. What came with the TYC one I got can be seen at 3:31.

@PracticalMechanic Thanks so much for your reply...I spoke with a product specialist from tyc and they said it does come with the drier. He said they changed manufacturer in 2019 and he hasn't updated the product pics. This would have delayed my repair so I'm so glad it comes with it. I'm using your starter replacement video as well. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to do these videos to help people like me save where I can.

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback, it is very helpful, especially for people who do this in the future. All the best

What was the temp in the car 🤔

The Denso compressor I am looking to buy has oil in it already. Still add the PAG?

Yes, that's what I did with mine, and it worked very well.

Do you have to empty the ac system of refrigerate before you change the compressor

@PracticalMechanic

Ай бұрын

Yes

If we replace only compressor, then don't we need to remove condenser and the radiator fan? Also avoid disconnecting radiator hose?

@martyndlsr

2 ай бұрын

You will need to remove the fan assembly. Not enough space to remove the compressor if you dont

How about for an 02 Accord 2.3??

Sorry, I don't have an 02, so can't comment on the specifics. The basic procedure would be the same, but the 02 uses a different compressor (Denso 471-1190), like this one: amzn.to/43d8HMv Hope it helps, wish you the best!

Did you remove coolant first and how

Yeah, some of the coolant drained out. It's in the video (starts around 1:50).

Oh, gotcha. No, unfortunately the R134a had already leaked out.

In another video I saw a mechanic draining the radiator fluid before removing condenser, and later after install he used a vacuum to vacuum air in the radiator and then refilled the radiator fluid. Is it required? Can we directly add fluid like you did?

Minute 14:23 I don’t have that pump. Do I really need it for?

@PracticalMechanic

Yeah, you have to get all the air out of the system, or it won't work right. I use this one: amzn.to/4cCe8sw Good luck 👍

Price wise how much would this repair cost if taken to a shop?

@PracticalMechanic

2 ай бұрын

I would estimate about $1000 - $1,500, based on what I've seen recently in the forums. I would be interested to hear others chime in as well.
