Replacing the A/C Compressor

[Lucid Moments]

This isn't going to be a full write up. Its actually very simple to do once you realize you have to pull the radiator first thing. If you do that it is actually pretty easy. If you don't its a pain in the ass.

Guess which I did?:mfrown:

Yea, you are supposed to. I didn't and we'll see how long it lasts.

The compressor itself? Or having it replaced like flboricua101 mentioned?

I paid $250 for the compressor off ebay and did the work myself. I've got a buddy that is a Honda master mechanic and off the top of his head he quoted me a price of $1,000 to $1,300.

If you trust the guy then you do, but $180 won't even buy a new compressor. Maybe at his cost, but then just the compressor and not the condensor too, and he isn't taking anything for labor for that.
