THE SERVICE A/C COMPRESSOR DOES NOT MOUNT EASILY TO THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE BODY OF THE COMPRESSOR INTERFERING WITH THE WATER PUMP BRACKET. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO ALIGN AND ATTACH THE BOLTS.

THE SERVICE A/C COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN REDESIGNED WITH ADDITIONAL RIBS WHICH FURTHER INCREASES THE DIFFICULTY OF INSTALLING A SERVICE A/C COMPRESSOR.

GRIND A SMALL SECTION OF THE RIB REMOVING NO MORE THAN 2MM OR .08 INCH, UNTIL RIB IS FLUSH WITH THE SURFACE OF THE COMPRESSOR BODY. REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATION. **DO NOT GRIND INTO COMPRESSOR BODY**. INSTALL USING THE PROCEDURES FOUND IN THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUALS.
