Need to replace my compressor. Realize i have to go to my gas station first to purge the system of refrig.

Few Questions.

If the compressor does not operator(recycle) at all I assume its not the clutch issue but the compressor itself?

I have replaced alternators but never a compressor. Is it difficult to get to. Would seem I have to take off front wheel to get at it?

Realize I should replace o rings and oil up the compressor. Am i forgetting anything else?

Lastly, can I replace the refrigerant myself, have done it on other cars but never on a completely purged system. Or do I need my mechanic to do it with his machine.

Thanks Madness
