On my 02 EVWK, I am in the process of the replacing the compressor,
that is if I could get the old one out. The Bently says you need to
remove the alternator first, but I can't get it to budge. I have
loosend the serp belt and removed the 2 bolts on the alternator, plus
the 2 bolts retaining the compressor. Nothing is budging.
Any advice before I get the hammers, pry bars an cutting torch?

Even with the bolts out, the units stay on there really tight. I just
used a large screwdriver and pry the units to get them to pivot.
Notice that the AC will hit the PS fitting. Pry against the fitting
and the AC housing gently to get it to move. Work it, it will come
out. IIRC, there are 2 bolts for the Alt and 2 for the AC.
