Any one have DIY suggestions on how to replace the air compressor in a '92 Honda Accord? Is there a simple step by step list of instructions?

Remove: o power steering mounting bolt and nut o adjusting bolt o adjusting bolt bracket o power steering belt o power steering pump 4. Remove the two cruise control actuator mounting bolts, disconnect the connector and remove the cruise control actuator. 5. Remove the alternator harness clamp and disconnect the alternator harness. 6. Remove: o alternator mounting bolt and nut o adjusting bolt o adjusting bolt bracket o compressor belt o alternator 7. Disconnect the connectors from the condenser fan, and remove the connector from the compressor. Remove the three mounting bolts and remove the condenser fan shroud. CAUTION: Do not damage the radiator fins when removing the fan shroud. 8. Disconnect the suction and discharge hoses from the compressor. CAUTION: Cap the open fittings immediately to keep moisture and dirt out of the system. 9. Remove the four compressor mounting bolts and compressor. CAUTION: Do not damage the radiator fins when removing the fan shroud. 10. If necessary, remove the compressor bracket as shown. 11. Install in the reverse order of removal, and: o If a new compressor is installed, calculate the amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system by draining the oil through the suction fitting on the old compressor: 100 cc (3 1/3 fl oz) minus contents of old compressor, equals the amount of refrigerant oil to be drained from new compressor. * Replace 0-rings with new ones at the pipe joints, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. * Do not damage the radiator fins when installing the compressor. * Be careful to connect the alternator harness as shown. * Adjust the belt. * Charge the system. * Test the performance. |

Hi all, When I called autozone for a price check for the oxygen sensor, I was told there is two in my 93' Accord EX. And they're not identical on top of that. Is this true? Can someone reconfirm this? Thanks Cybercool

Replying to: elroy5 (May 03, 2008 8:09 am) You're very helpful. I can't really see the one before the cat converter with hood open. Maybe I'm looking at wrong location. I was told it's underneath and in front of cat converter. If I buy the parts (sensors) do you think it'll be expensive to replace? Do I have to replace both? Thanks Cybercool

Replying to: elroy5 (Apr 27, 2008 7:37 pm) I doubt a flush is a good idea, or necessary, on high mileage cars but you are crazy to NOT CHANGE at least some of the fluid at a time. What's the point of letting the stuff sit in there, lose all it's cooling/lubricity, and then shell out for a new tranny or ditch the car? Anyone who recommends that (barring some very special vehicular circumstances) should probably have the bottle taken from their hand and be given a spot to catch a nap.  As for "evidence", my vehicle is  205K using the drain and fill only method (I bought the car with about 100K on it already). Granted, Accords seem like they could run to 200K with rocks in there as lubrication but I think this is the smartest way to maintain the tranny. Then again, YMMV!
