31 Working under the car, place a jack and
block of wood under the engine to support it,
then unscrew the eight bolts that secure the
engine longitudinal support member by
approximately 15 mm - it should not be
necessary to remove the bolts. Have an
assistant lever the support member down to
give increased clearance, which will allow the
compressor to be removed from the car.

removal. Tighten the unions and all mountings
to the specified torque. Have the system
evacuated, charged and leak-tested by the
specialist who discharged it.

adjacent components clear and remove the
unit from the car.
