How hard is it to replace air compressor?

I am suspecting my issue with airmatic is in the compressor. How hard is this to replace and where is this located? To remove this ad, register today or login if you already are registered!

It was time for the compressor to be replaced. I thought I had shock problem, but it didn't. I will be getting new seals for the front shocks though. preventative measure....

Yes, he did run diagnostics and no codes, other then the air compressor.
