^
Remove compressor from vehicle.
Note:
When servicing A/C compressors, verify the model number of the compressor, i.e. SD-508 or SD-709, to insure correct replacement parts are
ordered. Many older Vanagons may have been upgraded to the seven cylinder compressor (SD-709). VIN information on the parts microfiche will
not reflect these upgrades, therefore it is necessary to use the Sanden Model Number located on the compressor label.
