fire bird AC compressor

[@An84maro]

Really appreciate you making this for everyone. Very detailed. Im getting ready to perform this job myself and don’t think ill be able to do this without your video at hand.

[@blue72nova]

I get to change the ac compressor hose assembly. Mine took a rock to it. Hoping I can get the hoses off without needing to completely remove the compressor. Thanks for the video.

[@chriswyatt432]

Good job very detailed and complete job will be changing mine and will follow this video good job

[@jaymoney8793]

What is the name of the line/hose that connects to the lower radiator to that big nut? Someone sawed the lines in my car been a big struggle finding the proper name

[@RichardT123456789]

Nice video. Do you one for a 98-02 F bird bird T Top drain / drain tube … how to clean and location

[@302KingCobra]

1 thought... You should purge that charge line. As it now has air in the line that you are forcing into the system.

[@doziervk5287]

Explain how you do that, genuinely curious don’t wanna fuck up my car

[@302KingCobra]

If you look closely at the gauge setup he has. There is a little schrader valve in the middle. His is covered by a red cap. Before opening the valves at the end of the lines connected to the car, open the gauges, open the bottle, then purge that valve with a pen or something until Freon comes out. Now the lines are free of air and you can open the low (blue) side to charge the system. 👍

@@302KingCobra thank you 🙏

[@jrbird7571]

Thank you so much for this video. I just did this job and found that the top two compressor bolts are easy to deal with from the top. But you have to remove the two coolant hoses that connect to the water pump.

[@charlesnavarrette1835]

didnt have to remove coolant hose just used a stubby ratchet no problem

[@tylerthierry5278]

extremely informative good job

[@keything8487]

Thank you for posting this....you made it look easy

[@mikeb6902]

would it be easier to remove the sway bar?

[@paisceincepermenter4431]

I had my ac replaced on my 2001 firebird 3.8 put 2 cans of freeon and it started getting col then it started to blow hot fans are on and compressor is working what else can it be ? help

[@BobG_1987]

I just did mine - I grab the top two bolts from the top side, and that line hold down bolt all from the too much easier

[@arnoldgama1]

Do you have a link for the compressor you purchased

[@anthonyspadaro7731]

Any chance of getting a link from the Ebay seller for viewers to also buy a compressor?

[@billbigrig33]

Why didn't you replace the accumulator? It's a sealed system and once its exposed to atmosphere its no longer any good.. your ac system will not work properly now

[@1992danib]

Trey Proctor the accumulator isn’t ruined lol, just because it’s been exposed to air, there is this thing you do called vacuuming the system which removes air and moisture before you add refrigerant. Do a little more research before adding in your stupid comments. If your suggestion was true you would have to replace every single part in the ac system and that wouldn’t do you any good without vacuuming the system either. Do you think the accumulator comes sealed and do you think you can install it while still sealed? I think not.

[@charlesnavarrette1835]

@@1992danib try is right when every you change a compressor for warrenty allways change accumulator and orifice tube since compressor is new ans why call him stupid new they are vac sealed when you pull covers off you will hear the thud sound so quickly install it system will be colder and work way better if you change vac test t for 5 to 10 min then charge if no leak s

[@bradleyrowell6409]

You only have to change the condenser and dryer if the compressor came apart internaly, if your replacing it for a leak its not necessary to change condenser and dryer and orpheus tube

[@bradleyrowell6409]

The dryer wont be damaged because it was exposed to air. You just need to pull a 10 min vacuum

[@michaeldose2041]

Trey P The people who make accumulators agree with you. They act as filters if the system gets full of metal then definitely but most of the time refrigerant just leaks out. Water boils at room temp when under vacuum so it is evacuated too. The only other issue is oil.

[@ethanc9902]

How much would you charge for this exact job

[@Antdogg566]

I will be doing this when i swap my leaking rack and pinion ... should make it easier with that out of the way also

[@gbrown4x4]

I need to change my rack and pinion Gonna look up how to do that

[@TA-ky4pj]

what kind of jack are you using, love to get one of them for my 2000 TA

[@enrycabello5217]

A master

[@johnpittman7928]

This is a great video👌

[@ShadowFox1141]

Dude I’m searching for someone who can tell me where to look. My ac only blows through the defrost. I changed out the check valve and still no air through the vents.

[@sneakingfox5887]

Vacuum line behind the intake?

[@luismarin5109]

What brand did you use

[@jeffs9530]

Is it the same on a 2000 z28?

[@Steven-rg4bo]

Jeff S yes

[@jp-rp6nj]
