RV2 AC compressor Rebuild help

I used a socket, large enough, so it touches just the outer step of the ring for the front plate. You have to work very carefully, but please do your research here on this great forum. @Jim Kueneman did a very good write up on how to rebuild a Mopar AC compressor - here:1972 Duster Build with my Daughter | Page 22 | For A Bodies Only Mopar Forum.

I am by far not that advanced, but also try to document every step on my AC project - here: 1969 Barracuda Fastback | Page 9 | For A Bodies Only Mopar Forum
But more important is to have and read the Service Manual for your car, it covers almost all rebuilding steps.

Cheers,

Wolfgang
