(After removal of freon and serpentine belt) I use a long 1/4" extension with a swivel socket to get to the 10mm bolt for the manifold hose. (Get from the top of the engine compartment) Jack up the front of the vehicle or use ramps to gain some clearance. From the bottum of the engine you have to remove the 10mm mounting bolts. There should be three or four. Make sure to unplugged the two wire connector at the front of the compressor prior to removing the bolts. If you can use a wrench to break the mounting bolts loose, you should be able to use an extension and swivel socket to remove the bolts. Leave the bolt that is easiest to get to for last. Once the compressor is loose, you will have to "play" with it to get past the steering linkage but that isn't too bad. On some it will come right out. Good Luck.
