Default Compressor and condenser replacement

I'll be replacing these as well as the drier. For those who have done it any trouble getting any of them removed? Curious after this many years if any connections are likely to be seized up and difficult to get apart?

Replacing that condenser and dryer was a serious pain. The tabs all need to be adjusted repeatedly to get the mounting correct. Then when you think you got it the cross bars that hold the aux fan are off. I had to just zip tie one mount together because I could not get everything to line up. On the bright side I got to practice my swearing.

Not the answer I was hoping for lol. Did everything unbolt ok for removal?

Yeah .coming apart was a piece of cake. Then you gotta wrestle that condenser out by pushing the radiator back then wrestle the new one in without busting anything. It was the worst land rover experience I have had.

Just FYI. When you get it all done then you gotta recharge your system. You can't do that on your own. A mechanic has to vacuum out the system before recharging.
