I noticed that others have had this issue before but I didn't see how this specific problem was addressed. On the A/C compressor bracket, I, like other E36 owners, snapped the A/C belt pulley mounting hole. So I bought a new bracket and have been trying to install it for several months now. However, I can't seem to get the top mounting bolt out because the compressor pulley interferes with my tool.
I really don't want to strip this bolt. How did you guys deal with this issue?
