Evorage

This post is old but I thought some new information would be helpful. To remove the compressor I had to unbolt the engine mount and jack the motor up. Doing this allowed the compressor to clear the crossmember on the bottom. Otherwise it is almost impossible to get the compressor out. I didn't try to remove the stud because I doubt it would have cleared the crossmember. It's a pain but jacking up the motor made it a lot easier.
