Leaking AC Compressor

Try the compressor manufacturer for manuals. Sanden has everything available on their website, but I think that model still uses a Nippondenso. But they may have .PDF files of service manuals available also.

corrected the problem 15 years later. The bolts holding the compressor together were very tight; hard to loosen with the compressor off the car. You will need a vacuum pump to evacuate the system before charging it.

Because the Chrysler CARS continue to use Nippondenso compressors similar to the C-171 used throughout the 80s. The trucks and Jeeps, at least, switched to the Sanden SD5 and SD7 series in the early 1990s and haven't gone back.

But to be honest, the Nippondipsh*t compressor on my wife's car has only needed replacement once in 247,000 miles, which isn't bad for a Bic disposable compressor.
