If you want to attempt it yourself I watched a video on YouTube on how to disassemble and rebuild.

Over the years, Delco has made about 1/2 dozen refinements to POS original compressor, and other aftermarket units are far superior to the original.

https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog...7,heat+&+air+conditioning,a/c+compressor,6628. IM not too keen o a rebuilt, but the new Delco is under $200 and with the 5% it should cover shipping.

I put the 4Seasons compressor on mine on the recommendation of my local car A/C shop. Low defect rate (near zero), and it's quiet. When it cycles on, it barely hits the motor. Until I tweaked the idle control, the engine would actually flare when the compressor kicked on, because the idle-up was too aggressive for these new compressors.

With a new condenser and a 134a charge, I have 38 degrees at the dash outlet in 90 degree weather.

So yeah, don't bother rebuilding the original. It's not worth your time.
