Removing air suspension compressor

[Worzella]

Have watched a few videos where people are removing/replacing the suspension compressor and they all struggle with that third bracket bolt up high and behind the compressor.

But I just watched a Febi replacement compressor video and the tech only removed 2 lower bracket bolts and THEN unscrewed the three bolts holding the old pump to the bracket. He then simply pulled the compressor out and then the top high bracket bolt was easy peasy to get at.

Anyone ever used this apparently much smarter set of steps to remove compressor.

you will typically find that the bolts holding the compressor to the bracket have a bit of corrosion making them difficult; mine exhibited this and a big crack in the bracket. The top bolt is not that difficult with the right extension [wobble] and/or universal and socket.

Here is my take on that project.

That 3rd bolt is not too bad, just need the correct tools.

Agree - the third bolt is not that bad.
