Hi,

As far as replacing the A/C compressor, it is a little involved because you need to evacuate the old system, recharge and make sure there is PAG oil in the new one.

Here is a link to get you started. It explains in general how it's done. It includes a little more than the manual.

If you look below, I attached the information from my manual. Note that I attached the directions related to PAG oil starting with pic 8.

I hope this helps. Let me know how things turn out for you.

Take care and Merry Christmas.

Joe
