[Stuck calipers]

Hmm, thanks, I should be able to do that no problem.

 

One more question, i found the bottom bolt on the caliper fine and removed it, but the top (pivot point) doesn't seem to have a bolt. Here's a pic. Any ideas as to where it could be? Thething that looks like a bolt head in the picture doesn't have the squared off (or hexed off?) sides that a bolt would have, its just round.

Thanks so much!

Where is the piston in this picture? Is it the ring? If it is, how would I remove it?

It was definitely siezed up, as when I jacked the car up, I couldn't rotate the wheel. It looks shiny and fine though. Weird.

 

Anyone? Help? Tips? Answers? Advice?

Don't worry about me, I am mechanically inclined Found the compressor, duh, didn't know it was right there, found the caps tested the pressure, NOTHING. took the tubes off, shiny new looking black rubber gaskets. I don't think they are the problem. Anythign else I should look at before i run off and grab a can or two of refrigerant?

SO my heat works fine, blowers work fine, but No A/C. At all. It will blow out air, but not cold air. No noise either.

 

And, embarrassed to say this, but I can't seem to locate the A/C Compressor in my engine compartment. Where is it/what does it look like?

If the system is indeed pressurized, won't refrigerant come spraying out at me?

Does anyone have a picture or an explanation of where these O-rings are on the A/C compressor hose? My Subie is having the same problem.

 

Thanks,
