A/C compressor rebuild

[ahaley]

Does anyone know how to disassemble the A/C compressor on a '91 Explorer? I need to replace the shaft seal. Thanks.

Welcome to this forum! Who sells parts to rebuild these units? Did you price a rebuilt unit?

 

[ahaley]

Don't know about parts, but the price I got was $265.00 which I think is too much. Can't seem to find a good one at the junkyard, I'm on my 3rd one already, none hold a vacuum.

Did you check the vendors on this site?

Not yet.

This is a teardown for the FS6 which is similar to your FS 10...

When I had to rebuild my last compressor I found a local a/c rebuilders to get the shaft seal and body o-rings for replacement...If you don't have one local, try www.ackits.com and www.aircondition.com

This guide will do a step-by-step on teardown and reassembly...It assumes that the user is able mechanically to perform this task...

It is not difficult to do...And it is a lot cheaper than just replacing the unit...

Thanks Ranger, I appreciate the help. The pages are a little fuzzy, is there any way to get a cleaner copy from you or somewhere else? I have a 1-800 fax # if that would be easier.

Another method...

I scanned these pages some 15 years ago and I don't have the originals anymore.. But I have a link to a PDF and page for a similar teardown and rebuild...

Try this...http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_Nippondenso_rebuild/911_Nippondenso_rebuild.htm

See if that helps anymore than the scanned pages...
