Strip down of the a/c compressor from an E46 BMW. Compressor is the Denso 7SBU-16c
One thing I missed showing in the video. At the 15:26 minute I install the large valve piece. I thought this whole piece came as part of the rebuild kit. It is in fact two separate pieces. One of these comes with the rebuild kit. There is another piece on the underside (not seen in the video) that needs to be removed and installed again. It's a thin stainless steel valve piece that does the valve action. It looks like a 6 legged spider. It simply pulls off and gets installed again using two bumps on the 2mm think steel piece installed prior.
