Hey All- sorry if this is a duplicate post- AC compressor has spit the clutch completely off the assembly and it appears a new compressor is in the cards. The sub-frame/radiator is so tight what tactics have you used to remove it? Really dont want to pay $700+ to a shop....

Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Remove the radiator and lift the engine with an engine lift so that you can get enough clearance under the water manifold, then cut the head off the stud on the belt side so you have enough clearance to slip it out without the pulley hitting the frame. It's a tight squeeze but it will fit between the motor mount and the water manifold ports if the engine is lifted high enough.

loosen everything drop the subframe and pull it out.
