Hi guys. I just bought a reman compressor from a autoparts chain. I cant turn the compressor by hand. Is this to be expected or should I take it back?

GM series compressors, new or properly remanufactured, are almost impossible to rotate by hand......obtain a spanner wrench or a clutch turning tool and this is easily accomplished. Suggest to lube the compressor...mount on vehicle...attach manifold and then turn the unit.
