Always slide the tire under the car just in case the jack fails.

[@terrywayneHamilton]

Very , very excellent. A Note from an old guy, always use baby oil to clean you hands and use a dead fall incase the vehicle shifts and the jacks tip over. A dead fall is a block of wood or concrete that prevents the vehicle from falling to the pavement. Keep up the good work you will do well.

[@breakingthemasks]

... baby oil... Interesting 🤔 I get the concept, that the baby oil dilutes the first harder oil... And then you just use dish detergent to get the baby oil off. I'll have to try that. Thanks!

[@lexuspod]

or the wheels under the car does a good job also

[@benchod3576]

Nice work kid. I'm surprised you didn't have to remove the alternator to get to the ac compressor. Props to your dad for teaching/getting you involved in car repairs. Kids your age are usually on their phones or gaming and don't even know how to fill air in tires.

[@burtthebeast4239]

I've been a car and forklift mechanic for over 20 years. I just looked at this really quick to see if there's any hidden nightmares because it looks pretty straight forward but YOU did an EXCELLENT JOB BROTHER. 👏. I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up 💯.

[@paulg2100]

I’ve been watching this young man for a very long time and he is the BEST on KZbin. Not only is he very good mechanic he has a knack for teaching and being very clear in his steps. Hard to find that anymore on KZbin. Much love and respect you you brother !

[@seejahb5335]

Keep doing what you're doing bro, just develop confidence, you already have the passion.

[@gilleymk]

Great job!!!!! Practice makes perfect. Your dad's doing a great job teaching you.

[@224flash]

Thanks again, this is the second AC compressor I've replaced on a couple different older Honda's using your video as my primary "How to" reference. I've also used your other video's on manual starting of clutch to service the system. Great Job, I can't say Thank You enough.

[@mplsfarmer]

Kudos Aiman--great video! BTW: you can protect the exposed surface of the radiator by taping a piece of cardboard (plexiglass, thin hardboard, paneling, etc.) over the exposed surface. Also the plastic underside piece shown after time stamp 1:05 is called a (front lower engine) Splash Shield. and the long specialized tool for removing the serpentine drive belt (time stamp 7:19) can be borrowed from Autozone or O'Reilly's. It's part of their tool loaner programs. You pay for the tool upfront and then return it for a full refund. O'Reilly's allows you to use the tool for 48 hours before returning it; Autozone gives you a generous 90 days before you must return it. It is called a (serpentine) drive belt tool.

[@icaremore]

What about the Freon? How do you handle discharge & recharge?

[@leoc245]

Just set it free into our atmosphere 😡

[@spettro9]

Because he didn't read or care and let it out into the air. SMFH.

[@cperez8203]

Guys act like they have never dispeced oil on dirt🤣

[@kg2194]

Great job young man. Your very good and i appreciate your time and your help. Your videos are way better than most. Thanks again and tell your parents that random youtube people find your videos super usefull. Thank you for the help!

[@mynsxt6]

I am very inspired to see a young person using their talents and mind for something besides playing video games, please keep this up and you will always determine your own future!!!!!

[@powhattanst]

I like this guy!

[@EyeOnAiman]

Thanks!

[@xzilicpython233]

Great video! Love all the extra tips! Very clear directions.

[@alankauth]

Great job. I am going to help a family member do this.

[@ericxiong6582]

Simple DIY. Not too shabby..

[@EyeOnAiman]

Thank you! I will keep improving these videos to try to not only be more helpful but also more safe!

[@HumbertoHacked]

We were all taught a very valuable lesson about stripping

[@joungymcmb]

Great job , so what kind of tools you recommended to me, this video helped me.

[@fernandosalcedojr.8169]

Good job dude looks like you really do get in there and get the job done. Only recommendation would be to next time use a servicing machine to collect the freon in the AC system, it sucks out all freon and doesn't release it into the ozone (which is bad), and you wouldn't have any pressure in the system that could potentially hurt you. 👍👍

[@ruslinyatim8508]

Greeting from malaysia. Just got a leak in my compressor jdm honda odyssey 2005. Different model, but using the same engine and same layout. Later i want to take out my compressor too. Maybe just replace o ring to fix that leak. Very informative.

[@Amit-oc6qh]

Aiman, how are you friend? I love how you are so passionate and I know for a fact I will learn about communication-aesthetics-physics from your future videos also. Thank you so much Aiman!

[@waldo4891]

how do i de-pressurize or empty the lines?

[@SinghSingh-ci5yc]

I know it's old, but where is part 2? You explained very well how you removed it. So did you take it to a mechanic to have them empty and refill the AC?

[@shotokankaratedo6155]

Great video bro!

[@EyeOnAiman]

Great comment bro!

[@plor1261]

Great video. Dad, next time let him take the compressor out. Puncturing a condenser is great way if learning to be careful next time... I know from experience 😅

[@lorenfok1097]

That 3/8 electric ratchet is a beast... probably turns a 2 hour job into 1

[@chris-samuel-cesar]

Good video but how do you take the belt of the compressor??

[@swervinrigg209]

Thanks mine had an adapter on one of the hose gotta take it off after you unbolt the compressor os it won't fit to pull out also I had 2 separate fans so I didn't have to take the radiator hose off either

[@wilbenson1435]

Is it possible to use a 2005 honda accord v6 A/C compressor on a 2005 V4 honda accord ?

[@juantorres-in3lh]

Amazing work man I’m so proud of young kids adults working hard !! Congrats on Harvard kid wish you the best in your career!!

[@YaMudda313]

What a most impressive young gentleman. Thank you for the tutorial and the motivation.

[@weber_with1B]

What type of oil do you use to cover the o-rings with?

[@EyeOnAiman]

PAG 46 Refrigerant Oil (R-134a), the same oil you would refill the compressor with if it's not already pre-filled with the oil. You can find it at all auto part stores such as Advanced Auto Parts, O'Reilly, Autozone etc..

[@unmc21182]

@@EyeOnAiman awesome video

[@michaelboibodas]

How do you disconnect the AC compressor wire harness clip???

[@manuelpulido2959]

I need some help, I have a 2006 honda accord v6. Same problem. I just got the car and recharged the system. Then 2 days later the compressor went out due to over heating. I replaced the compressor and the fan. Turned it on and the compressor blew the valve and leaked everything out. Replaced drier, compressor (again) evap core expansion valve both lines, pressure switch, literally everything in the system is new. Worked 1 day and blew it off again. I just spent 2000.00 on the AC and I'm at a loss. Is there anything you can think of?

[@pcx4766]

The Achilles heel is the compressor. In the 7th generation Honda, it is worth getting a V-belt. BANDO 7PK1390 or Continental Contitech Length 7 PK 1400 [mm]: 1400 Replacing it takes a few minutes for a layman after deflecting the automatic tensioner (such a small circle) with a 13 or 14 wrench if I remember.

[@eliasvaldez9903]

You are doing verygood

[@stevet8607]

Wow great video kid , but one other thing never ever just use jack stands, always put something solid underneath the car ,

[@leoc245]

Thanks for helping in the deterioration of our ozone layer! That's a terrible thing to do and teach people to do.

[@levijoelgonzalezcampo3047]

thank you very much brother

[@nathanperez3743]

I need help the botom bolts on my Honda Accord Lx 2006 ac compressor won’t come out because the subaframe it’s in the way how do I get around taking out the bolts straight

[@Tonythebarberfl]

How did you do it

[@Rickey_B0bby]

I’m from ct too!! Your a good mechanic kid keep up the good work and great video’s

[@Rickey_B0bby]

And I also have an accord!!

[@AliKhan-kr8zy]

Good job yang boy 😊👌👍

[@paprikajones]

Will this work on a 2011 honda accord?

[@fade7755]

Well done Sir!

[@StavZad]

Hey dudes. I have an 04 honda accord 3.0 and I took an ac compressor from an 07 2.4L. Will it still work on my 04 3.0L? Thanks

[@sampiche9970]

Look at the serial number

[@kylemorgan2275]

I stripped my idle pulley bolt trying to get my belt off to get to the ac compressor. So I had to stop and start taking off my power steering pump and then my idle pulley. About to start putting the new pulley on and then heading forward

[@leafstomper]

My AC just went out on my 2006 Honda Accord. I have been debating about replacing it myself. I took it to a mechanic and they said it would be $900! I just found the compressor online for $150. After watching this video I think it will be a piece of cake thanks for the video you did a great job wish me luck!

[@chris-samuel-cesar]

Did you change the ac compressor

[@leafstomper]

Still waiting. Bills to pay. I work from 9am - 8pm. So I miss the heat of the day. But I’m sure this will go well. 👍

[@chris-samuel-cesar]

Does taking the belt pretty hard and also tu put back?

[@michaelcoffman9290]

We’re you able to replace it yourself ?

[@leafstomper]

@@michaelcoffman9290 yep! Took about an hour. Easy.

[@Lifesituations8000]

What happens if i forget to meassire the oil from an old compressor?

[@kylemorgan2275]

Great video man. Really informative to watch keep it up

[@mitchelllankford468]

Make sure the vehicle is properly secured

[@heyitsbroski]

So, you didn't vacuum the compressor first?

[@711encounters]

This 10 yr old seems smart

[@robbflynn4325]

Changed compressor on my sons 2003 Accord. Pig of a job. Lower bolts very difficult to remove, no working space and on there very tight. Whatever you do take your time with these bolts, you do not want to strip them.

[@pguggia]

I am impressed by the skills of this young man, excellent work Just one little advice .. keep all your tools on a small tray or an old towel on the ground next to the vehicle, don't leave them on top of the engine: easy to drop them inside and then arghhh :)

[@Tonythebarberfl]

No link to the strip bolts

[@rosesolon9243]

Hey buddy great video I have a accord 09 cp2 model and my compressor has shit itself aswell or the clutch did. I just took it to a mechanic and had it assessed and was told 1 fan isn't working and the compressor is faulty . but he has also said I might have to change the other fan, tx valve and dryer, is that necessary thanks

HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS VIDEO..... WOW... SO DOPE....

[@ScreenPrintR]

I didn't see link to your Stripped bolts link i.e. extractor.

[@antonioostos3531]

THX

[@SaudaraLink]

You should keep the jack under that car for extra support, just in case.

[@ScreenPrintR]

Sorry, didn't see the link for removing the fan shroud. Also at 15 minutes. Use a breaker bar. I've done the exact think you did. lol

[@MrS22222]

It's best to use the proper size hex sockets rather than the 12 point sockets. It's way harder to strip bolts with a proper size 6 point socket and tightening the bolt a bit to break any rust before removal. The 12 points tend to strip the corners of the bolt in my experience.

[@mplsfarmer]

He did state this at time stamp 11:34

[@YoungMdx]

You damaged the radiator after that pressure build up

[@ke_ag]

My mechanic wanted $1000 parts and labour for this.

[@mitchelllankford468]

Need a wobble extension

[@mitchelllankford468]

Cost of the compressor

[@Tonythebarberfl]

The bottom bolts hit the frame and won’t come out

[@fortnitesniper3706]

Honestly video is very good and informative and I’m not trying to hate but I laughed so hard when you said not to touch the radiator then the hose smacked into the radiator

[@antoniosalcedo64]

good job and very informative. Love the energy you bring in this video. keep it up.

[@seungjoon2037]

Hi, how much of the PAG 46 oil did you add?

[@charlierios8420]

Daam bro how old are you?

[@fatwhips6929]

Good job man make sure you put your head on the ground when your under the car or you’ll strain your neck eventually, which really sucks

[@polymful]

where is the video that shows how to diagnose a compressor ?

[@brookscasel4215]

If the compressor is completely dead, you can tell by running the car's AC at full cool blast with the doors open. If the compressor fails to spin up, it's completely trashed and needs replacing.

[@J727MONEY]

Get yourself a vacume pump from harbor freight i hope you vacumed it before charging it

[@Fatbodypyle]

Terrible instructions. It was clear you were just figuring things out as you went along. You should have purged the refrigerant before removing any lines. Most auto parts stores will collect it for you. Not good. I suggest you read some manuals before attempting such a repair again. Just an observation.

You didnt evacuate the freon before hose removal. you are dangerous and it is illegal to blow the freon into the atmosphere. sorry bogus
