I need the bracket part # for 95ti automatic. The thread hole on mine cracked and bolt will not tightened. Thanks.

I can't the part #, even the local dealer can't find it either. I may have to pull out and find out the #. Thanks.

You're going to have to make a special tool to get the rear compressor bolts out working underneath the car. Take a 6mm allen wrench and cut the elbow off it. Then take the long part of the allen wrench and stick it in a 6mm socket on a long ass extension. Use one hand to guide the allen wrench into the bolt. It worked for me when my bracket broke, made removal of the A/C compressor much easier. Also, I was working on another members car a while back and noticed that his bracket was broken and someone installed a smaller belt without the tensioner pulley. It worked fine. So if you want to fix it cheaply, you can go to the autoparts store and find a smaller belt to stretch over the pulleys. Just use a screwdriver to pry the belt over the lip and have someone crank the engine. If you do this, be careful though as the pulley may be plastic and if you use too much force, it can crack.

Jesse -

Can you take a look at this post, and tell me if this is the rear compressor bolt you're referring to? The other two were easy.

These are the compressor mounting points.

Thank you - yep, it's as I feared. It's not going to be easy, but at least now I know which one it is. For the benefit of those that follow, the head of the fastener shown on the lower right points toward the front of the vehicle, the other arrows correctly depict from which direction the fastener head is accessed.

By the way, did you ever get those subframe bushings in?

Yes the front lower bolt is accessed from the belt side and the rest from the back side.

As far as the subframe bushings, NO. I just can't find the time to put the car on the lift since I am enjoying driving this thing and the temporay fix I did was holding up pretty good. The temporary fix was I shoved in a rubber fuel hose between the top flange and the subframe to take up the slack.
Maybe during the fall I will have the motivation.

Here's what I ended up using to deal with the upper compressor bolt - the allen wrench is 6mm and the ratcheting box end is 1/4", which is the closest thing I had.
