Just an update for anyone this happens to in the future.
My process for fixing this was:
-I removed the power steering belt
-pulled out the 4 bolts holding the AC compressor onto the bracket and hung the AC compressor off to the side a little
-removed the drivers side torque mount
-removed the four bolts that hold the AC mount bracket on
-I ended up just replacing the whole bracket because everyone told me I would have a hard time getting that bolt out. Got one from a friend for free so I threw my new bracket in there
-bolted the bracket back in, then the AC compressor back in
My torque mount stud that holds the torque mount in seized the bolts on it so I was unable to remove the torque mount front it and I wasn't able to get the nut off the stud so I replaced the nut, stud, washer, and torque mount. Here are the part numbers if anyone needs them, I had a hard time finding them or the stud
- I then put the power steering and AC belts back on, tensioned them, and made sure all was in good order
-my last step was to replace the torque mount, so I put that bad boy in and I was all finished!
My only concern is that my torque mount stud had some room to move around a little bit inside the torque mount itself, hope that's alright? Everything look ok to everyone in this picture? Idling the car seems a little more shakey, but it could be because the torque mount is new and my old one was trashed. You can see the torque mount sits a little low as it is in a way hanging on the stud.
