junk yard edc

im going tomorrow to go get a sanden or york from the junk yard and want to know what size sockets or wrenches i should take with me or other tools to make removing it easy. Also what all should i grab with the compressor like take a bit of the line coming off it and what else??

anyone i need info for tomorrow at least need some advise on what to take with the compressor i can just take some metric tools and cresent wrenches and stuff. i need to know what all i should take out with the compressor

you should just need the compressor, lines and pulleys. i have never pulled one so i don't know if it is standard or metric. so i would take a phillips, flathead, dykes, 1/4" through 1" and 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 17mm. and a 12" cresent wrench just in case. oh, and a rubber mallet. you never can be to sure. haha.

possibly a mini pry bar as well.

OK, I have pulled Sanden compressors off these trucks. You'll need your regular metric tools. 15mm box wrench for front bolt on driver side of compressor, also a 14mm box wrench for rear bolt on driver side, a 14mm box wrench for front bolt on passenger side, and 12mm socket and long extension for the adjustment bolt. There's also a bolt that attaches the high and low side manifold to the rear of the compressors. There are several different types of Sandens used, all similar. The later ones have a high pressure relief valve on their rear side.

thanks alot for the info should save huge time on what tools to take. one question i have is for the hosees can i use the hoses that come with it or is it wise to get a leader hose from like a viair and have it taped into the compressor??

you will want NEW hose leaders

new from right off the pump... what should i use for that?? and to run to my tank???

I would get as many AC parts off the truck as I could. Will you be using R-12 or R134a?

cusse i think he is only useing the comp for an air ride set up not a/c.....i think
