i know this may sound crazy....but i once had to replace one....and my rebuilt came with a slight crack on the casing.

i got some epoxy and put it there.... hard to believe , but it solved the problem.

i pulled the original bad compressor myself, without a lift.... it just seems like you need an assortment of extensions and universal..

i wiggled it out from underneath...and got a new one in...

try the epoxy first... i did it...even though the company sent another compressor to me gratis.... it's still on my shelf
