Replacing JD 7410 A/C compressor.... HELP

John Deere 7410 

 

Of course the A/C compressor clutch has to burn out during winter in Canada. And of course on a Saturday afternoon when stores are already closed........ 

 

I've never replaced an A/C compressor. We charged the system ourselves and all that, but never played around with the compressor. How hard is this to do and what is the best way to do it. Keeping in mind it's of course freezing outside and we have snow on the ground...... oh how much fun that will be. =(

 

Really would appreciate some input before I start the job to avoid an ' I wish I would have known before' situation. 

 

Thank you.
