a/c compressor ?

I have a 94 s10 blazer that has/had r12.last summer the freon started to leak out of the compressor on the top where it bolts together. I unplugged it immediately and recently started to think about doin the conversion. I figured i have to get a new compressor but was searching on advance auto parts web site and they show a Ready Aire 2926 seal kit for like 15 bucks. Is it possible to just unbolt the compressor ..seperate it and replace the seals and reuse it?

Any thoughts???

thanks mike

Disassembling the compressor:

Without the proper tools will at the very least;

Cause it to lock up when you reassemble it.

Leak anyway.

Leak in a few weeks.

It's a tightly toleranced unit, they don't lend themselves well to rebuilding. Unless they are not terribly worn, as most likely the case with yours. But the end plates and the housings warp.

I would consider a new unit, because the longevity of a used unit isn't much longer than a season.

I hope this helps?

PS Listening to Jabs, is like letting an unlicensed proctologist talk you into a colonoscopy! You'll feel two hands on your shoulder, and feel a wet wiggly tongue on your colon!

Hey Refinish King, After reading your post I have no doubts that you must have lots of experience and are an expert on "wiggly tongue in colons". However, I don't think you know jack-shit about auto a/c. Now go wiggle your tongue up somebody else's colon.

No, Really?

You'll have to go to the dealer for a compressor seal kit, and you still need special tools to disassemble the compressor!

you need special tools just to remove the driven plate of the clutch, and reinstall it to set the proper air gap. Then you need a seal remover/installer to remove the old seal and install the new one, without deforming it.

This isn't to be an asshole, but I told you this the first time. Would you rather listen to someone with thirty five years experience, who has rebuilt GM compressors. Or Listen to a guy who's name is fashioned after some kind of shit stabber?

trying to fix the compressor without a lathe and a surface grinder, after dismantling it, with the correct tools. Will not work very well.

Sincerely,

Refinish King
