Ok you\'l need...

10mm Spanner & Socket
12mm Spanner & Socket
14mm Spanner & Socket
17mm Spanner & Socket
19mm Spanner & Socket

And just remove all the bolts that you can see...there are 4 main 12mm bolts on the AC Pump that need removing other than that the rest of it is pretty straight forward...Block off the AC Pipes from the nut close to the bulkhead...i just bent the pipe close to the nut so it doesnt get any dirt inside...

Make sure the AC is empty before attempting to remove anything otherwise you will get a shock and look like Predator with a bullet wound...

If you get stuck you can give me a call and ill talk you through it...PM me for my number :)

I realise that you maybe having trouble getting good amounts of air to the rad and that its goning to be winter soon and so wont be needing the air con, but have yo driven your car in the middle of summer without it on?
