B3000 4WD V6-3.0L OHV (1995)
Maintain low drill speed while moving the cleaning assembly from the coupling. This will prevent axial scratches and possible future leaks.
Do not allow drill to exceed 1500 rpm, tool separation may occur.
h)
Remove any residue with a lint free cloth.
NOTE:
To prevent material fibers from remaining on the sealing surface, a lint free cloth is needed.
i)
Inspect the sealing surface for grooves. If grooves can not be removed, replace the component.
5.
Inspect the male coupling for:
^
sealing surface scratches
^
corrosion
^
0-ring debris
6.
Remove any surface residue using the following procedure.
a)
Loop the natural fiber string around the coupling and clean the sealing surface as shown. Refer to Fig. 3.
NOTE:
To prevent material fibers from remaining on the sealing surface, natural fiber string is needed.
7.
Assemble lock spring coupling.
NOTE:
Use only new green 0-rings. Using any 0-ring other than specified may allow connection to leak intermittently during operation.
^
Lubricate new 0-ring seals using the appropriate refrigerant oil.
^
Install 0-rings.
^
Lubricate inside of female coupling using appropriate refrigerant oil.
^
Install plastic indicator ring into cage opening if indicator ring is to be used.
^
Fit female coupling to male coupling and push with a twisting motion until the garter spring snaps over the flared end of the female fitting.
NOTE:
If the plastic indicator ring is used, it will snap out of the opening when the coupling is connected to indicate engagement. If the indicator ring is not
used, check the coupling engagement by verifying that the garter spring is over the flared end of the female coupling.
8.
Repeat procedure as necessary.
9.
Recharge system and leak test to verify repair.
^
If coupling continues to leak, replace the component.
