Removal and Installation
REMOVAL
1. Set the temperature at 18 °C (60 °F), and then disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge refrigerant.
3. Remove the fixing bolt, then remove the low-pressure pipe 2 and high-pressure pipe 2.
CAUTION: Seal connection opening of piping with a cap or vinyl tape to avoid exposure to atmosphere.
4. Slide the evaporator to passenger side, then remove the intake sensor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
-
Replace O-rings for A/C piping with new ones. Before installing, apply compressor oil to them.
-
Connection point for female-side piping is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert in
axial direction.
-
Insert one-touch joint connection point securely until it clicks.
-
After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not come off.
-
When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
