Hey all! New here and just looking for some help! I have a 2009 Maxima SV!

My compressor gave out like 4 years ago and haven’t had the money or time to fix it. Now due to Covid I have tons of free time haha

I found the compressor super hard to get to especially the bolts holding the lines onto the compressor (I had to remove the cooling fan assembly and crap) when I finally got the bolts off the compressor was free floating but the lines wouldn’t come off. So I put the side bolts back in to hold the compressor steady and pulled on the line from the engine bay and I still wouldn’t budge.. am I doing something wrong or are they stuck on forever? I have them soaking in PB Blaster, see if that does anything!
Thanks all!

 

Pull them off. Not much else to say.

 

I solved it! I did manage to get them off, had to take a hammer and tap them to get them to wiggle. The O-Rings, dried coolant and oil were acting like a glue. Just didn’t know if they had to be turned to unlock of something!

 

Yup. Good job. Coat new O-rings with PAG oil before re-installation.
