    Gentlemen:
    I can't seem to get the AC compressor out (a Sanden 508 BTW) of the 512TR/M. I took off the tensioner bolt assembly but I can't slide the pivot bolt out far enough to remove the whole compressor/pivot bracket. It hits the heater hose. Shamile said I should be able to angle the bolt past the side of the hose, but no go. I can see about 8-9 threads exposed, it can't be holding the bracket in by much. Do I have to take the hose off (please say no). I tried compressing the hose with a broom handle but still no luck. Any suggestions?
