Air con Pump removal '52 CDT

Roverpip · 29th January 2018, 13:11

Hi all, quick one. I've discovered that prior to me owning the car, the aircon pump had been removed.

not a problem thinks I, quick trip to breakers yard, source a donor unit and remove.

Not so fast! absolute nightmare trying to work out how to remove. Therefore, have any of you good people removed one and if so, what is said procedure?

Have looked in my Haynes manual and cant find any reference for removal procedure.

Looking at it, i'm guessing bumper-front slam panel-radiator-power steering pump-alternator. I'm hoping there is a simpler way!

Thanks in anticipation

Phil.

Have a read through this, No bumper or radiator removal required if access from below is possible. Lee
