If you look at the front of the ps pump, you will see three bolt heads facing the front. The corresponding nuts are in the recessions on the back of the mount, in between the fuel lines... It's HARD to get at them without ujoints on extensions, be careful not to break the fuel lines.

The A/C compressor bolts are even tighter, don't have nuts, and can't get a socket and torque wrench on them. I went at it with a dead blow hammer, but no luck. Any other ideas? Thank you all in advance!

I was using a open end wrench and a hammer. Breaker bar will not fit since the auto can't be lifted of the ground.

Is there a reason the car can't be lifted off the ground, or you just don't have a safe way to lift it so you can get under there? If the jack-ports are rusted away, you can get a pair of drive-on ramps for added working-room It's going to be pretty tough wrestling with that AC compressor while the car is on the ground. It sounds like you need to invest in some tools and at least a pair of adjustable jack-stands. Happy Motoring, Mark

I had four axle stands. Two were borrowed and gave them back to the owner in Comufornia. I had two hear, but one apparently was stolen. I only have a one care garage and torn the place up and can't find it. I plan to get another set but like to make the auto drivable first. All I need to do is get the compressor loosened, not all the way out. Oh and I can get under unlifted cars just fine: lay on the ground and wiggle my way under.

I can get under unlifted cars too, but sometimes there just isn't room for both myself, and a tool with adequate leverage. Happy Motoring, Mark

There's no way to stretch the AC belt over it's pulley, I have up and got it on as tight as possible and then with the part of the belt that wouldn't slip over at the 10 to 11 o clock position I bumped the starter over and the belt slopped into the groove. I have no idea how to remove the belt short of taking it off with the compressor.

It is a real pain, but one can loosen it a smidge and then force the belt on. Next time I do it, I will start with the adjuster and see if that works. I do know it will not take me six hours! Now seeing this, does the belt have to be snug? Just tight enough so it doesn't slip?
