End of last summer my AC pretentioner pulley bolt sheered off, and is still in the AC compressor bracket.

This weekend I'm hoping to pull out the AC compressor bracket, I was wondering if anyone has done this before, and has any tips?

I'm hoping I can leave the compressor in, so I don't have to recover the gas.

Pretty sure you won't need to take the AC compressor bracket out. I sure you can get the tensioner out/in without taking the bracket out. I know its a tight fit though.

If you need to take the AC compressor bracket out, you just need to support the compressor. Either from underneath (a stand of some kind) or tie the compressor up some how to take the weight.

The bolts sheered off, so the tensioner is out, half the bolt is still in the bracket though lol
