My A/C stopped working and the dealer found the issue is caused by leaking compressor. I am a second owner and the leak is likely due to an accident the previous owner had. I do not have a warranty anymore, and I was quoted $1,100+tax for the parts and work.
I am thinking to buy a used or new part online and change it myself. Then I will just go to the local auto shop to fill in the A/C system.
Is this a crazy plan? If not, would you buy a new compressor assembly new for $510 or opt out to reconditioned part for $275?

Last, do you or any of your Mazda friends have a diagram with step by step instructions on how to replace the compressor?
