Zoltan,

You have to drop the cabinet assembly to get at this, which means evacuating
the system, disconnecting the hoses inside the cabinet, wires, etc.  If you
really want to tackle this I have the guts from my '85 I'll make you a good
deal on, like a half-rack of some variety of Freemont Brewing beer. Includes
delivery to Lynnwood.

Frankly, these systems are best deposited in the metal recycling bin IMHO.

Eric,
You must have misunderstood or I was not clear.
The noise is coming from the overhead cabinet where the A/C is.
That squirrel cage is loose and the turning part in it too.
I have no idea where to begin to take it apart.

sounds like the pulley bearing is gone might have to change out the
compressor.
