Default A/C compressor housing last bolt

A/C compressor housing last bolt-image-1852726211.jpg


I have a issue of getting the last bolt out...
Even if remove the fan assemble I still will be hitting on the flange that it bolts to :-( ?!?!?

Anyone have any good ideas how to get this bolt out I need these brackets/crap for my new motor...

Remove the Fan/Clutch and pulley. With the other three AC Compressor mount bracket bolts removed, you should be able to move the bolt out enough to clear.

I have the other bolts out (that's why it says last bolt) and if i take the fan clutch off the bolt still hits the flange that the fan clutch is bolted to

Any other ideas are welcome?

I don't know, but when I disassembled my engine components for rebuild I got it out, and when I reassembled the engine components I got it in. Granted, it's a hair tricky but you can do it. The holes in the timing chain cover and the compressor mount are larger than the bolt so it allows wiggle room. If you tilt the mount back a bit the bolt head should clear the clutch mount flange.

Keep tying.
