best advice for compressors is to take it to an auto AC guy, because it sounds like the clutch is going out, maybe other parts.
Not gonna kid you, if you dont have the parts to disassemble, vacumm and recharge system by the time you have bought all these things, you need the parts. Take it to a mechanic.

that way you pay once, get a new compressor and keep da woman happy. which allows you to work your projects... yeh the world is good.

my GF says= I work overtime, so she can go shopping so if shes happy then Im happy, which is why I work overtime,,,

BUT SHE sez- I buy parts so I can get ready to finish my project- kewl world
