Evaporator
Removal
Note: LHD model shown. RHD model similar.
1. Remove the HVAC housing assembly. See: Housing Assembly HVAC/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/HVAC Housing - Removal
and Installation
2. Disassemble the HVAC housing as necessary to access the A/C evaporator (1). See: Housing Assembly HVAC/Service and
Repair/Overhaul/HVAC Housing
3. Carefully life the A/C evaporator and the foam seal (2) out of the lower half of the HVAC housing (3).
4. If required, remove the foam seal from the tapping block of the A/C evaporator. If the seal is deformed or damaged, it must be replaced.
Installation
Caution: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system. Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level will
prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
Note: When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to the
refrigerant system.
Note: If only the A/C evaporator is being replaced, add 60 milliliters (2 fluid ounces) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. Use only refrigerant oil
of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
Note: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber
O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
