Seems easier than it would actully be.  I would like to see that person get
that ring compressor out of there with 1 and 3 installed and having his
compressor around 2 or 4.  I think if you tried it then, you would find it
easier to pull the motor.  You would definately have to have the patience of
a saint , skinny long fingers, with magnets surgically attached.

After all, how would a person check end play, clutch, etc without pulling
the motor?  I assure you that the decision to re-ring was not based on
micrometer readings, Just on "she's burning oil" must need new rings!  Not
necessarily so.
