12 years later and the only video I’ve found helpful 👍
Did as you suggested and it works fine. My needs to clean his bong water. Thanks.
My 93 is slinging oil out of the compressor seal behind the clutch would I need to replace it or just take it apart to change the seal
@rclark23 Our Kit for this vehicle (The 1996 explorer) is $217.99, and that includes a NEW (not rebuilt) Compressor, as well as shipping to the continental US, Thanks!
Just came across this video. Have a 95 explorer, same exact engine and everything else. My question is how would you know if the condenser needs to be replaced or not? My ac compressor is completely locked up even after replacing the clutch.
Great video
Good Vid. Man
You can replace the compressor clutch by itself, but you want to make sure that the compressor internals aren't seized as well, the outer clutch plate should spin freely still, it is connected directly to the compressor input shaft.
@fijunky Everyone has their own technique, mine is to remove anything that is easily removed that could potentially get in my way while doing a repair. It only takes a couple seconds to reroute the belt.
@mikeaa000 as long as all the other pulleys are being driven by the belt, the AC compressor is not critical for the engine to run.
Awesome video no background music to interrupt and great sound and great picture. I am wanting to just remove the compressor and bypass it for now with a bypass pulley and of course the smaller belt. Can I do that okay and without removing refrigerant form system?
You can remove the compressor and we install a compressor bypass pulley that bolts right into place and allows the same belt to be used. You will need to evacuate the refrigerant out before removing the compressor. A shop is really the only place that can remove and store refrigerant properly. Here are links to the bypass pulleys on Amazon and make sure to pick the right year make model and engine size:

Thanks that's great observe video channel i like good idea ad post
First video I found that showed the process of removing the a/c compressor. I couldn't figure how to get the manifold hose out. This looks exactly like mine and its a 2000 Explorer Sport.
do all of your a/c compressor kits come with the compressor pre-filled with oil? I'm going to order one for my F250 and one for my explorer. They are both 2006 limited and lariat. Awesome video btw. subscribed!
Most of the kits have compressor's with oil prefilled and I just checked those 2 kits and they do both come prefilled with oil
why didn't you do an oil balance for the new compresser like all the other youtube videos show?
thank you
Does anyone know where we could find the ac filter for the 1996 explorer or does it not need one or have one ?
What you would have to do is check for power and ground at the connector going to the AC compressor clutch. If you have power and ground when the system is on, but the compressor doesn't kick on, then the clutch is bad. If you aren't getting power and ground, then you have an issue somewhere else in the electrical.
Hi, the reason you need to change the drier is because the system over time will absorb moisture. The drier can only absorb so much moisture and when you open the system when changing the compressor, all that additional humidity is introduced into the system. Moisture inside the system can be fatal to a new compressor and that is why you always need to replace the drier along with the compressor.
Thank you for your videos!
I have a 2000 Ford explorer. Very similar to this one. My ac runs abd gets extremely cold. It seems the compressor disengages when my rpms are under 2k. Usually when I'm sitting idle. I rev the engine and can hear the compressor start and I'm cool again. Any suggestions are appreciated. Also, in the event of a compressor failure, I will be offering this kit from you!
Thanks
Can you tell me why it disengaged? I have the same problem but it happens why i dont even use the ac, it also happens when i just use the heater
on my 95 explorer did evertything in the video my clutch isn't coming on I jumped it and it works what could be the problem I checked all the relays and fusess
I need a video on how to change the air compressor on a 2005 xlt ford explorer 4.0
Does a 97 have the same location, thank you in advance. GOD BLESS all........
can you put just the clutch off of a Ford Explorer on two a F-150 2004 truck????? Because I just did.it is smiler
hi can you plz tell me why do i need to replace the Drier Accumulator when i replace the compressor??? i got a bad compressor on my ford ranger
GOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I've got an 01 Explorer. It's blowing hot air. The compressor is supposed to click on and off, but it just stays running while the ac is turned on. It has plenty of freon.
Do I need a new one?
Yes I would get a new explorer.
I am not sure what they are talking about, there are two things you have to do, the first is to evacuate the system (remove the pressurized refrigerant from the system). And then when the job is done, the system has to be vacuumed down prior to refilling with refrigerant. These two steps have to be done when repairing any part of the AC system which requires opening the lines. Perhaps they were misunderstanding the Vacuum vs Evacuate.
is this procedure the same for a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT V8 4.0
the 4.0 is a V6, but yes, same procedure.
What size is the tensioner bolt?
My Ranger compressor clutch is frozen up. Can I just change the clutch without pulling the entire compressor?
Can you do this without disconnecting the battery??
So anytime you disconnect an electrical component you should disconnect the battery, otherwise you have power at each connections, if you don’t want to disconnect the battery, you would at least pull the fuse from the system you are working on.
Niceeeeeee
Could my car still run if I don't but belt through the ac compressor.
Hello anyone know what that second electrical connecter leads to @ 2:49
@mikeaa000 thank you
The only local shop that can vacuum refrigerant told me that I had to replace the compressor before I evacuate the system. They're in the business, so they must know something I don't. Would taking off the compressor prior to evacuating the system be dangerous? Because that's what I understood from the video.
What size motor is this
4.0L OHV
What about CANADUH. ?
I have 97 ford explored the ac conpressor is swetan

Why you dont show when remove the cover and install the o rings , i dont understand why we buy a 200 dollars compresor and dont come with the green o rings
