Removal Procedure

1. Recover the refrigerant using an approved refrigerant recovery system.





Important

Remove left front headlamp assembly to gain access to fitting.

2. Remove the discharge hose from compressor outlet




3. Remove the suction hose from the compressor inlet.
4. Remove the suction hose from the vehicle.

Installation Procedure

Notice

Use only R-12 refrigerant oil to lubricate the O-rings. Use of R-134a (PAG) oil will cause premature corrosion of fitting joints. Do not lubricate seal washers.

1. Remove the protective cover from the discharge hose.
• Lubricate O-ring with R-12 refrigerant oil (mineral)
• Install discharge hose to condensor inlet.

• Important

  Make sure discharge hose pipe is parallel to line on radiator end tank. This will prevent the discharge hose from contacting the suction hose and transaxle oil cooler lines, preventing potential damabe to the hoses.

  Tighten fitting. Tighten

  Tighten the discharge hose-to-condensor to 23.50 N·m (17 lb ft).
