Replacing this compressor is pretty straight forward.

Here are a number of guides that will help with this. Please run through this and let us know if there are issues.

Below you will find the process from the manual. It is not detailed at all but again, once you have the belt off and the system evacuated, it is just a matter of unbolting it and replace it.

Clearly sounds easier then it is but let us know if you have questions. Thanks
