Post A/C Compressor rebuild

Hey guys and gals,
I'm thinking of attempting to rebuild my ac compressor and would like any links or instruction you might have. It seems you folks have links and information on just about all subjects. My compressor will hold coolant but not for the entire summer season. If it is cheaper to just buy a rebuilt one or salvage yard (locally about $85) I could risk buying one there and risk having the same situation in 3 months after the warranty goes out. Or I could learn a new skill and fix my own which I prefer, If I mess it up OH WELL I was needing a new one anyway. I don't see a down side to learning to rebuild one. I have found links to rebuild a Honda A/c compressor of all things and I have all the tools they recomend for that job. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Photo's of the job would be a big asset I think many others would benefit from this as well. If you think I'm making a big mistake let me know that too. Y'all have helped me quite a but in the short time I have been a member here.
Thanks in advance

Well I know there is a special tool for just the removal of the clutch head assembly. So start looking for that. As for the rest of the A/C compressor your on your own... I tore apart a older 2 cylinder (v2) compressor years ago as a kid... (Like on the older 60's and 70's Charger's)
