I hope it works out for you.
It took me awhile to develop a method for doing the teardown on window AC's. Hard to describe exactly. The two places i find the most difficult are the compressor bolts and the two phillips head screws that hold the fan assembly in place.
You'll need a really long phillips head screwdriver for the two phillips head screws that hold the fan. Sometimes they rust up. If that's the case .... flip the AC over and grind off the screws with an angle grinder. Take a pin punch and drive them through from the outside.
Most of the nuts that hold the compressor are either 10mm or 12mm. You'll need a socket,a wratchet, and a foot long extension to do those ones easily.
It just takes a little practice to get the knack of it. After awhile ... you can bang em' out without too much trouble. Most of the newer ones are pretty much made the same no matter what the manufacturer's name is.
