Nippon Denso compressors are really well made and easy to rebuild. I rebuilt mine as a precautionary measure while replacing a leaky condensor. The case seal kit was about $14.

I also ordered a '91320 Nipondenso Seal Service Kit' for about $38 from Mastercool in AZ. It includes tools needed to replace the shaft seals.

You can continue to use your car after removing the compressor by running a shorter serpentine belt; Goodyear part # 6PK2310 is the right length for the 190e 2.6. Just be sure to seal-up the A/C fittings to prevent crap from getting in there.

Cheers!
