To remove the air conditioning compressor from the Mercedes ML, you need to remove the front wheel and unscrew the bolts inside the wheel arch. Once the plastic parts constituting the wheel arch are removed, the compressor will be visible and accessible.

After removing the splash guard, you can detach it: before removal, disconnect the fuse to avoid causing errors. To remove it, disconnect the pipes and loosen the bolts securing the compressor to the car. Once removed, you can replace it with a new spare part.
