Looking for a DIY for E92 AC Compressor

Hey guys,

2008 E92 with 105k miles. I've had a slow AC leak that I could never find. Finally took it to a shop and the found it, on the AC compressor pulley. I got the Denso replacement but I've been searching forever and can't find DIY for the swap. Can anyone link me to one please?

did you get it. If not, I just did mine.

If the freon is all out, isn’t it just just removing the radiator fan, lower radiator hose, belt, hoses on the compressor, the one electrical connector and compressor itself? I would replace the green O-rings on the hoses for reassembly and have it refilled with R-34 freon. I’ve never had to remove mine but it looks like once you drain & remove the radiator fan and the lower hose, you will have the necessary access. I’d be interested to hear from someone who has done this.
