My girlfriends 05 trialblazer has 215k miles. The AC compressor has started making a knocking sound whenever it engages. From what I've read I believe it's the bearing.
We'd like to fix this as cheap as possible and avoid buying a $200 compressor.
I'm thinking of pulling a compressor off a junkyard trailblazer for $45 then swapping the clutch out. This would save a lot of money and prevent having to evacuate the AC system.
Does this sound like a good idea?
What speciality tools are needed and what exactly needs to be removed to do this job in the engine compartment?
