    Wow. A way to pull the compressor w/o having to do it from the wheel well and dropping the subframe. You've done us Taurus owners a huge solid. Well done.

    This video is great because it tells what size wrench is needed for the different nuts and bolts. That's a huge help as it saves time playing guess the wrench size.

    Thank You FordTechMakuloco! I have a 2003 Ford Taurus SES with the Duratec 24v V6, just turned 100k miles. Complaint was the infamous noisy compressor, clutch and clutch bearing were trashed. Since the compressor was 15 years old it did not make sense to remove the compressor just to replace the clutch and field coil, so I decided to replace the compressor with a new aftermarket unit. Yesterday, my son and I did I the procedure described in this video *successfully* on the Duratec 24v! I removed both fans and "bungied" the fuse box out of the way. We used old fashioned ratchet wrenches for some of the 10mm compressor bolts and the refrigerant attachment bolt on the back of the compressor - it is a good idea to have a deep 10mm and some short socket extensions to allow for options in accessing them. The lower bolt towards the "belt" side of the compressor required a 10mm boxed end wrench for access. Getting the bolts off is a major PITA - we did remove the cover/airdam (as you mentioned) to get access from below. It was tricky, but I managed to bring the compressor along the back side of the radiator, just like seen in your video.
    I also replaced the accumulator/dryer and orifice tube. I did NOT have "black death", the refrigerant that was evacuated was clear. The orifice tube (15 years old) was about 1/3 full of crud, mostly small black shavings. We purged the evaporator and condenser while the system was open to get some of the old oil and "stuff" out. Yes, I know the "best" way would be to replace both the evaporator and condenser - but this is a 15 yr old Taurus, and the system was cooling well - we just had the bad clutch. Added PAG 46 per specs (7 oz), some in the compressor and the rest in the accumulator. Hand spun the new compressor before install to help free it up and disburse the oil. Harbor Freight vacuum pump used - pulled 30 in of vacuum and it held. Continued evacuating the system for nearly 2 hours to boil off any remaining flush. Charged system with the specified 34 oz of R-134a. Ambient temp was 80 degrees after completing charge - pressures low side 38 PSI, high side 210 PSI (right in the middle of the normal ranges.) Air out of registers is COLD (I could not get you a reading, my thermometer is "hiding" somewhere in my toolbox.)
    We could NOT have done this procedure without your excellent video! You saved us nearly $1000 in service work (on a car that isn't worth a whole lot more than that.)

    Thanks so much... Good video. I just pulled my compressor on a 2001 Taurus Wagon with 12 Valve 3.0 Liter. The compressor pulley locked up, and that burnt up my serpentine belt immediately. Followed your advice EXCEPT I did not open the split open the A/C line with the special tool. I only unscrewed the line from the compressor, and I still had no problem getting the compressor out.

    Thanks Brian for saving the old farmer on this repair (and towing due to a locked up compressor pulley). Grabbed tools (new belt and compressor) to the road side and got it replaced to get home. Then properly recharging the system:
    10mm Open End
    10mm Socket
    13mm Socket
    15mm Open End
    3/4" Fuel Line Tool
    8mm Socket
    Standard Bungee Cord
    Standard Cat Claw
    Standard Screwdriver
    No need to pull the belly plate, as it's all 100% accessible from the top.

    Had mine out on 30 mins. I left fuse box in place, plenty of room. Remove belt. Remove pass side fan (1 bolt on a '96). Remove Power steering fluid line (1 hose clip) and plug line. Remove the AC lines (after Evac) and let them hang. Unplug AC wire harness. You can remove all 4 AC compressor bolts. 1st=upper right. 2nd lower right 3rd lower left 4th upper left (this one hits the fan shroud, so remove other 3, then unscrew that last one and leave it in the mounts. Compressor will slide out, then unplug clutch wire harness. Done.

    Toyota tech here. Replaced the compressor on my friends 99 after watching this video. I forgot the fuel line disconnects. FYI. in a pinch, cutting a bottle cap to fit, and hitting it in with a flathead and a vice grip as a hammer works to disconnect that one ac line. Took me about an hour to change the compressor out. Great video man. I expected the job to be much worse than it actually was.

  • @richards6965
    @richards6965 5 років тому +1

    Best video of all the different methods being used. HOWEVER, I had a hard time getting the bleeder bolt out due to space constraints. SOLUTION: Take the fans out first. I also was able to skip a step. I didn't disconnect the suction line to give myself more clearance. The compressor came out easily without that step. Great job though because I would have been completely lost without this video. Thanks.

    @mattallisi6572 7 років тому

    Great video. I was able to quickly get things down to the compressor on my 2000 Duratec with your video's steps. I decided to remove my radiator hoses for a little better access as the 10 mm bolts that hold the compressor on are pretty tight. Got to the last bolt like you and I rounded the head. Not sure how I managed to do that with a 10 mm six point socket but cars can be tough. Still deciding on the best way to grind the head off as I plan on installing a bypass pulley.

  • @billmurphy9921
    @billmurphy9921 7 років тому

    Thanks for the informative video. I followed your steps on my 2001 Vulcan engine and all worked out well. Better than disconnecting the PS lines like some other recommend. One thing tough - I lost a lot of coolant during the teardown, I could swear it came from the block that bolts to the rear of the compressor. But that does not make any sense. It was not a trickle of compressor oil, it was at least a couple of quarts. How could that happen? Any help would be appreciated. I only lack replacing the orifice and pulling vacuum before charging again. I cannot figure out where the coolant came from.

    Great stuff. Your detail is practical and right to the point. No chatty fillers. My car is an 02 Merc Sable 3.0 ohv and the pulley wheel froze up. Just got the car. Had low coolant to start. How do I know its a rebuild I need and not the whole compressor. It did turn on right up til it froze up though not very cool cos of the low coolant. My guess is a rebuild. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

The only difference is the YCC212 includes the clutch. Which one would be the better choice for longevity especially since I plan on keeping this car and don't want to have to do this job again. Thank you for all your videos. They have helped me keep this car in the road since 98k when I bought it over 10 years ago..

They quoted me $1,100 for the removal of the compressor and install a bypass for the pulley or $1,700 to replace the compressor to have ac again. They said it's a lot of labor. They are a reputable shop. Do these estimates sound fair?

    If anyone has ever had your system not getting cold air into the cab try turning the cold dial all the way on and then backing off about 1/4 inch, the cold air will come flowing in. I learned this by accident after i spent $ 120.00d for a mechanic to tell me my ac system was fine but that i should look into checking my mix panels to see if they are moving properly. Come to find that the mix panels were fine but the problem was the ac dial would not let the cold air in until you would back the dial up a little from full on. Now i am that much smarter.

    Our 2002 Windstar has this same issue (shocking, I know). There's about an inch or so between the compressor and the frame. Is it possible, in your experience, to sneak the clutch off and on without having to do anything else but take off that one bolt? It looks like it's close but I wonder if you've attempted this before. (I'm SURE there's no room for the pulley but I was hoping to sneak in just a new clutch to start with.) Thanks!

    I followed your video and changed the compressor in my 2006 Taurus. Awesome job on the video!! I also changed the receiver/dryer and the orifice tube as well, but I think I created another problem. I had the battery disconnected for about a week and after reconnecting and trying to start the car to finish charging the a/c it wont crank. DId I erase the keys out of the pcm memory accidentally? If so do I need to tow it to the dealer to have them reprogrammed?

    Great video
    Is it legal to release the freon to the atmosphere?
    ans is it necessary to put an AC oil when recharging the HVAC?
    Thanks

      No you must recover it, It is a good idea to put in between 1-2 oz of oil back in.

    Is it possible to replace the pulley and clutch without removing the compressor and evac and replace freon

    • @FordTechMakuloco
      @FordTechMakuloco  8 років тому

      +SAXONWARLORD1000AD You could leave the lines connected and just imply the compressor from the block then just maneuver the compressor around to work on it. It's tight but possible

      Thanks for you quick reply - i dont see how the compressor will maneuver with the hard lines still in place,especially that large suction line you mention - can that be disconnected or do i have to evac the system first - I HATE THESE SIDE WAYS MOTORS - NO ROOM TO DO STUFF - simply change a pulley - ridiculous

    Is there a way to just remove the clutch on the compressor without taking the whole compressor out? on my car just the clutch is dragging and the compressor is still good and I don't really want to evacuate the whole system if I dont have to.

      There is room I believe to remove the clutch hub and pulley but it will be tricky getting the shims to stay in place upon assembly.

      FordTechMakuloco I was interested in doing this as well on my 2001 Taurus. Just want to remove clutch and not replace. But, there isn't enough room to get a 1/4 inch drive socket wrench onto the 8 mm bolt that holds the clutch hub. Was wondering if there is a tool you could recommend that would fit. Guess would also need something to keep clutch from turning as you torqued the 8 mm bolt. Otherwise, I'll just remove the whole compressor and install one of those bypass pulleys. Appreciate the videos!

    I took my 03 taurus to a local tire and auto shop, they said for a replacement, it would cost around $1800. Is that normal?

      I guess that's counting for price of the ac compressor and labor?

    Nice work. Hey, what gives with the air filter (2:00)? Looks like it's not seated fully or something.

    • @FordTechMakuloco
      @FordTechMakuloco  10 років тому

      No it is just and extra plush filter seal, I thought the same thing and checked the bottom tabs and even tried reseating it and it is just the way it is.

    I need to find the video for the compressor fix. I honestly just need it to spin because it snapped my serpentine belt. Dont care about ac at this moment. I just need a moving car without a $1500 bill 🤣
    If i can fix the bearing on the compressor im gonna be a happy camper!

    What so you do with all the refrigerant that is in the system already?? How do you remove it and put it back in?
