A/C blinking light - over-pressurized? Bad ground?

I wouldn't want to bend a pressurized line, knowing if you do damage or weaken it or cause a leak, you're in for several hundred dollars for a vacuum, line replace, and recharge.

 

Just for the screw.

Engineer (pz-60)/ vamplier (7.5") also make a needle nose that may get in easier. They're the same company, just US based warranty for vampliers.


These are all screw extraction pliers.

 

yeah, I hear ya. I tried to gently nudge it over a bit and its not as soft as I thought. :/ need to either grind down a wrench to fit in there or figure another way

 

I can't recall anyone ever saying that thing was suck a problem, so I'm baffled you're having this much issue. Makes me wonder if you're doing something wrong?

I'd be consultiing the factory service manual, which can be downloaded all over the internet (including a sticky thread on this site), or at least checking YouTube.

 

yeah, def watching several different videos on the timing belt process on YT and this bolt needs to come out for the AC compressor to swivel slightly to get the fan bracket out. One guy mentions this because unless you want to evacuate the AC lines and remove the pipe in the way, you have to deal with this bolt in small area to work on it.

Its annoying how such a straight forward process like this can be much more difficult when a bolt decides to be stubborn. I'm going to try grinding a little bit off my cheap HF 12mm wrench so I can get the box end on it. The open end has too much slop and I don't want to round it any more. If that doesn't work I will buy higher quality wrench that might do it before going to vice grips. Yes, I have been tapping with a chisel and using penetrating spray on it too.
