Can some one give a step by step process in the DIY section to replace a AC compressor in a 2005 honda accord (4 cylinder). Also if there are any manuals to help i would appreciate that as well. My AC compressor was diagnosed as leaking but not ceased up.

 

I just did this last week on my TSX, which is basically the same engine as your accord.

I would suggest to have the remaining R134a in your system removed at an a/c shop.

You need to remove the passenger side fan on the radiator. Remove the serpentine belt. Unbolt the PS pump (two bolts) and where the PS hose bolts to the valve cover (1 bolt). You can now slide the PS pump to being on the exhaust manifold. Disconnect the battery. Disconnect all the connections to the alternator (2 connections) and remove the bolts (3 bolts). You can now remove the alternator. Finally the compressor needs to have its electrical connector disconnected, two lines removed, then it has four bolts holding it on.

I highly suggest trying to remove the bottom splash shield on your car and trying to remove the two bolts holding the compressor to the from the bottom BEFORE doing all the stuff I listed above. The bottom bolt nearest the passenger tire was virtually impossible to access on my car. I ended up drilling the casing on the compressor to get the compressor out of there. It was a major PIA in an otherwise simple repair.
