Anyone have experience replacing an AC compressor on a Honda Civic that is willing to instruct or help point me in the right direction. Not sure where to begin but would love to learn how. Thanks you!

Do you have lift training already?
Iirc, it’s better to access the compressor from under the car.
You might also need to remove the radiator to be able to pull the bolts holding it in out.
You can use taller jack stands as well if you don’t.

I replaced my '08 CR-V’s A/C compressor a year ago. Biggest challenge is evacuating the refrigerant then filling with new, but it’s not too difficult. May have to find a shop to evacuate the refrigerant safely, likely for a fee.
Honestly, I watched relevant YouTube videos several times and had some help with removing the serpentine belt. I ended up purchasing a vacuum pump and A/C gauges from harbor freight. Saved nearly $1,000 doing it myself.
