I have never known anyone that has rebuilt an ac compressor. Of course, that doesn't mean that there aren't any, but I don't think that it is very common...Mark

I found this for an old gm A6, but rebuilding them yourself seems to be fairly uncommon...Mark

My desire is more for cuorisity, such as why it broke or quit working, i'm sure i will buy a NEW comp., but then....... i am curious. THANKS MARK i'm checking out " THIS"

If I remember correctly, the A6 was a piston type compressor and most new types are rotary...Mark

Yea, this is a sandin ,,,,, it looks small& doable, don't think it has too many parts. I keep seeing rebuild kits but no rebuild books.If i decide to tackle it ,,,,i'll do the pics. and post the results.

I bought a brand new one a while back for less than the parts to rebuild one. Yeah, I got a "deal" however, these compressors are really cheap.
I would NEVER buy something I could rebuild for less, however, at the time it was a no brainer.

Me too most of the time, but still ,,,,,,,i'm goin give it a try.

If it's not working, and you are sure it's the compressor that's bad, I say take it apart.
It will either make sense, or it won't. Could be you just need a valve and a couple of seals.
I do have to admit however, I still have the compressor kit sitting in my garage for my first gen 4-runner (bought kit 4 years ago)

Joey--- the comp., still runs but after blow'n out ,flush'n out & pullin vacum TWICE( that would be 2 times -----right?) , the low side won't go down, & high side won't go up ,,,,,,replace or rebuild----i got'a know. if your kit will fit a sandin comp., -----welllllll now !!!!!
