You were exactly right, I had to cut in to the housing which did leave some of the bolt left in the block of the motor which came right out after I was able to get it cut. Never in my wildest dreams I would have though an A/C Compressor would have been a pain like this. Thank you.
im having the same issue over here, if you have an tips or pictures I’d greatly appreciate it

You need to supply complete details of your vehicle. Model year engine etc, etc. A picture of your problem area would be a good idea so that we can all understand the particulars of your situation.

Stripped the head on my compressor bolt
I am currently changing a compressor out for my buddy on a 1996 Ford F-150 5.4L I managed to remove the two bolts on the front of the compressor just fine, but when I got to the back one it was stripped and I can’t get anything on it to get it off. I have roughly an inch to get on the head of the bolt.
