Default How to remove/replace AC compressor (04 Suburban 4wd)?

Bought all the parts after watching a DIY video, but now realize my 4wd components make his 2wd removal impossible.

What do I need to remove in order to get it out/in?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Unfortunately, I don't know what a 2004 4WD Suburban looks like underneath.

All I can "contribute" is that I replaced the AC compressor on our 2005 all-wheel-drive Yukon XL Denali, and that was pretty straightforward, from underneath. I wouldn't know if this is way different than yours or very similar.

It's not impossible. It was installed so it can be uninstalled. What exactly are you trying to install?

maybe easier if you remove the r/f wheel and wheel well liner. I've done one at pick and pull ie. no hoist.
