Can't get the bolts off the compressor? Must move truck today

[DcDuqueMuerto]

So, I lost air the other day. Found a leak on the gasket at the top of the compressor. Thankfully, I was able to get it (m932a2) home with the help of a buddy.

However, because of where it is, I have to move it today or am going to get handed a huge fine. I have been trying to get the top off the compressor separated. I can not get the back bolts (closest to the engine block) off. Or rather, when trying to pull them out they hit, and won't come out all the way.

Please tell me I'm missing something obvious. If not, this is going to suck.

Pull the compressor/PT pump assembly off the engine completely.

That's what I was afraid of. That is a much bigger job than I feel I can tackle

Why? It's just a couple of bolts, the air lines, and fuel lines, cables, and misc.

Take some good pictures, read the manual, bag and tag the hardware and fitting, you got a big truck you need to be a big truck mechanic.
Get it back together and you have accomplished something.

Get it towed

The reason it is difficult is physically. I was disabled in an accident, and when I bought the truck, things were getting better. But, in the last few months my health has diminished pretty quickly. So, any amount of work that I have to do where I can't sit and wrench at stuff is extremely painful.

Hence, why this has taken forever. It's not easy to accept that I can't do things I was once able to do.

Oh man, I'm sorry. I wish I were in Denver. I would yank it home for you and with a couple of SS brothers we would pull it out of there. You may have to contract this work out.

Where do you have to move it too. Cage brakes and pull somewhere. Worst case
