Default AC Compressor Replace

The AC compressor is getting a bit loud. Injected some PAG, but did not make a difference. Wont do anything now, but who knows how long it will last. Are there any instructions on how to replace the AC compressor once the system has been evacuated?

I don't have any, but am sure I saw a post on the topic this spring.
Did you try an advanced search?
