We start by dismantling the front trim, radiator brackets, and the fan assembly. Removing the old condenser, replacing it with a new one, and preserving essential components is crucial. This guide also highlights the importance of proper belt replacement and provides a schematic for correct routing.
After securely positioning the new compressor, we delve into the critical steps of adding PAG 46 oil, vacuuming the system, and charging the refrigerant. We emphasize safety and eco-friendliness throughout the process, including using a bucket to catch leaked fluids and ensuring proper refrigerant capture.
The video concludes with thorough testing and troubleshooting to verify a job well done. We address common issues like air temperature discrepancies and clutch engagement.

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
me 2 man, wish i had some one to cuss at it with. We could bring our vehicles together and tag team them. :)
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 🤬
Broooo I tried to do that shii and 2 bolts I couldn’t get off from the back off the compressor was mad ash
Lol welcome 😂
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
Great video
Easy to follow.
I have a 2012 but I'm sure everything is still pretty close.
Thanks for the video.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for making it!
You're certainly welcome. I'm glad it was able to help somebody else out!
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!
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.
Thanks
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
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.
What was the temp in the car 🤔
If we replace only compressor, then don't we need to remove condenser and the radiator fan? Also avoid disconnecting radiator hose?
You will need to remove the fan assembly. Not enough space to remove the compressor if you dont
Do you have to empty the ac system of refrigerate before you change the compressor
Yes
best step by step ive seen. most edit difficult areas.
Thank you, much appreciated
What to do about charging the ac houses? Do you need to bleedfirst
No, he's pulling a vacuum before charging.
Did you remove coolant first and how
Yeah, some of the coolant drained out. It's in the video (starts around 1:50).
No I'm sorry ac coolant
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?
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!
@@PracticalMechanic thank you 🙏🏼
You're welcome, good luck!
Minute 14:23 I don’t have that pump. Do I really need it for?
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?
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.
Got a qoute today the shop i use charging me 1400 out the door
Ah, okay. Thanks for the info
@@PracticalMechanicyes. I checked for my vehicle, mechanic quoted $900 only for ac compressor
Sub.
A clogged condenser doesn't always caused a failed AC compressor, just like with an Alternator or Power steering pump, they all fail after 200,000 miles. Yeah if it fails when you only have 100,000 miles then maybe your theory is right. My last Honda Accord had 300,000 miles and the original AC worked fine, but I know people that the AC compressor died around the time their Alternator died. My second 8th gen Accord I'm at 261,000 miles and my AC compressor is still working but it's making noise and failing. You don't need to replace the AC condenser if your AC still works
It's way easier to change the AC compressor on 2008 Accord than the 7th gens
Good to know
