  1. Remove the right tire. Remove the belt. Remove the front compressor bolts. Remove the rear compressor bracket from the engine block, but leave it attached to the compressor. Remove the oil filter. Remove the electrical connector and pull the compressor forward an inch or two to give room (maybe get a helper to hold it forward, careful not to damage the hoses). Get that manifold nut off with a 3/8" drive socket, or maybe just an open end wrench. It definitely required shallow turns, until it was loose enough to turn by hand. Then pull the compressor out the wheel well.

  2. Without opening engine you cant say if its changed or not, and if you open engine then you have to change all seals and gasket (major job). So better rely on km mechanic idea, if its above 100k its due time to change and better invest time and money and change before it slip.

    If you get any of these signs means its too late to think to do it or not, just do it.

    1. Slipping while starting occasionally.

    2. Loosing power while going uphill or towing

    3. Slight hesitation while picking up vehicle from 0 to 10 kmph speed.
