Exclamation A/C Problems

I’ve been having AC issues for a while now. Car would blow cold in the cool morning and then hot during the day. I finally had time to look into it.

Based on the pressure readings, I changed the expansion valve. There was rust and black on the valve. Pressure test good.

Now it looks like the low and high side are roughly the same. My guess is the compressor needs to be replaced, how ever I have noticed that the fan is not spinning on low when the AC is running.

1. Would this changed the pressure?
2. Anyone have a guide to remove the bumper or changed the compressor? (I cannot find a guide or youtube video for an F56, only R56).

is this normal? Any advice?
