Are you saying they were able to do it by only removing the Air Conditioning Compressor? That's quite a bit easier than what I had imagined. This is quite important to me since I'm about to embark on this repair and I was of the opinion that a lot of disassembly would be required. Wow! That's great news!

Sorry David,
I did leave out the word (conditioner). Yes, as I understand the phone conversation with Rolando (the service writer); the Mechanic/Technician was able to unbolt the chassis air compressor from the engine and put it aside far enough without having to disconnect its refrigerant lines. Then he unbolted the oil cooler, replaced the O-ring(s) and gasket and replaced the oil cooler and the A/C compressor.

It's entirely possible that I misunderstood what he said. I will speak to him again about the procedure they used just to be sure I did understand correctly. We were going over the status of all the items on the invoice at the time and I may have been preoccupied with the charges (PTO hyd pump $1347.31) and not paying enough attention to some of his explanations I will also find out if the Tech was a Midget.
