Hi to all,
reading various posts but still confused. There are three threaded rods with nuts on them and a square end on the rods that apparently hold the compressor on. There is a compressor bracket which is bolted to the block. I loosened the top two nuts on the threaded rods but the bottom one is near impossible well impossible for me to undo let alone get too. Am i suppose to remove the compressor itself or do i remove the mounting bracket it sits on?. From memory the nuts with the threaded rods are 13 mm seems to be bolts that are 15 ( one i can see and undo that hold the bracket on... How do i go about this?
Thanks

VZ Service manual says:

"Remove the air-conditioner compressor and mounting bracket as an assembly and move to one side to provide access, refer to Section 2B HVAC Climate Control (Manual A/C) – Servicing and Diagnosis.
NOTE
Do not disconnect the A/C compressor pipes."
