I would strongly suggest buying the Serpentine belt replacement tool kit made by Husky if you are going to attempt this job on a 2012 Nissan Altima. There is very limited space to access the tension pulley that releases the serpentine belt so using a conventional ratchet is very difficult. For me that was the most challenging part of the replacement and that tool made it much easier.

It is fine if oring is a little bigger if you cant find the exact size. It's worse when using smaller size cuz oring will stretch and won't seal as good. It's been many years since I did this and my AC still blows cold and no leaks. Good point about the dye though! Thank you for your input!

This video is amazing. You make it very easy for a tenuous amature like me. I will try it. The service shop wants almost $1,000 for my 2011 altima compressor that won't turn on any more. No way. One question: why is one of the compressor oils you use bright green, but the other you poured into the compressor clear? Is there a difference? Where do I buy the bright green kind? Thank you, Bthomassen
@DIYtime 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks, that's because I amateur myself, so I explained everything on amateur level... 😁 Green oil is what was inside compressor from factory. It contains special dye for leak detection. It glows on UV light... When I bought replacement compressor, it came prefilled with regular oil, so I didn't bother to look for original OEM one.

@DIYtime 4 жыл бұрын
I would do receiver drier last, to make sure it doesn’t get any moisture inside it while you working on the other stuff. It is supposed to be sealed and with minimal air contact, and it is designed to collect moisture inside the system. You don’t want it to become too saturated before you even seal the system.

Great video, but I'm confused about oil fill. Isn't the full 150cc of oil you put in only for a complete system flush and if you just replace a compressor, aren't you supposed to adjust the added oil quantity down to account for the amount that's trapped throughout the system? I'm installing a Denso compressor (it comes with oil) and the installation guide says to match the amount of oil in the new compressor to the amount in the old compressor. No oil came out of either my new or old compressors at the ports where the Freon lines connect (where you added the oil in your video). But I was able to drain 120cc from the new compressor when i removed the bolt from the port that's near the Freon lines, but closer to the clutch end of the compressor. I refilled it at this port with about 25cc, which is the amount that came out of the old compressor at that port. Does this sound correct?
@DIYtime 6 жыл бұрын
Every situation is different. My compressor was leaking, so there was no oil left in it. I used a chart from factory repair manual to find how much oil is needed in my particular situation.
@Justin-rv1mm 6 жыл бұрын
The Nissan Altima service manual says to drain the old compressor and new compressor into separate containers, then fill the new compressor to match the amount of oil that was in the old compressor. If you had a large leak or are replacing the following parts add this amount of oil: Large leak 30 ml, Small leak no oil required, Evaporator 75 ml, Condenser 75 ml, Receiver-drier 5 ml.

I have a 07 Nissan Altima and I'm trying to figure out if I need to replace it or is there a bad leak. I have recharged my car with the AC pro but the line got cold when the car was on and AC on max but a minute later it went back to hot. I'm looking at the ac compressor but the thing that is suppose to turn, does not turn. and I tried it manually, and it turns. Do you think is the compressor or a leak?
@DIYtime 6 жыл бұрын
You'll need to check pressure in the system. If it is in good range, then there is no leak. If there is a small leak, the pressure gets too low and AC compressor won't turn on. If there is no pressure, you have a big leak. You'll need AC manifold gauge to check pressure.

About the same. However, in my case I had a leak and all refrigerant was gone, which made it a lot easier. Otherwise you have to properly evacuate Freon first, which will require special equipment or trip to a mechanic. After repair, you will have to recharge the system, which also requires special equipment. With clutch replacement, you are not opening the system.

whenever the system is opened, a small amount of moisture gets in which needs to be removed by vacuuming it down for atleast a half hour

Did everything else like the dryer replacement now just trying to replace the compressor and this one bolt just won’t budge any suggestions ?

Try to spray it with penetrating grease and use impact drill. It does wonders with stuck bolts. Maybe borrow it from someone if you don't have it.
