Pull it off way easier. You may as well just replace depending on the mileage if it's anywhere near a 100k it's at deaths doorstep.

well it really sucked, i had to wedge my hand down in beside the exhaust manifold and frame and only got one click of the ratchet before i had to move it back again, then the bolt on the back of the compressor sucked too. Finally got another compressor on, not hooked up though.
