help replacing broken a/c compressor pump

[tahoe7689]

my ac compressor pump broke, i would like to fix it myself, but im not sure exactly what im getting into. I am pretty technically savvy, but like i said i have never done it before and maybe some tips or pictures would help. Here is the kit im thinking about buying, (when the compressor broke the first time, the stealership installed a used part i bought, and they recommended replacing the condenser and basically the whole system, but I said no, so this time I think im going to do that), it has basically the whole ac system

OK. I just went through this 2 weeks ago. I got this same kit and it works great. I just flushed my condenser out though, along with everything else minus the dryer and o-tube I replaced. Go ahead and do it took some time but def worth the savings.

Go to kragen or auto zone and buy the ac system flush (mine was $17) and have an air compressor. the flush is key! make sure you blow pllllenty of air to get all the flush solvent out so it doesn't break down your compressor oil.
