I just did this for the 2nd time on my Patriot... don't get autozone alternators/Duralast.. they don't last and bust into pieces..The belt on the patriot is a mile long ! haha
FYI: Usually before I mess with any connectors .I spray them down with electrical cleaner. Then spray it with some BLASTER silicon . Seems to make easier to disconnect. That's just me. Thanks for the directions.
@@mikesempier if you don’t feel comfortable doing it that way you can drain the ac system and remove the compressor completely but it’s not necessary. Just be careful to not move the lines too much and end up damaging them. You’ll feel how much it can move

@@raditian2 I never really needed to do that but I’ll probably try it out next time see how it works.
Did you have to drain the AC compressor
No you leave it alone. Only unbolt the ac compressor but leave all the lines connected
@@fixitish ok cool, every other video said to. Just wanted to make sure It wasn’t necessary. Thanks!
