REMOVAL

1.Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
2.Remove engine cover. Exploded View.
3.Remove air cleaner case (LH) and air duct (LH). Exploded View.

J-45815).

CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the A/C piping with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.





7.Disconnect one-touch joint between low-pressure pipe 2 (1) and low-pressure flexible hose (2) with disconnector (A) (SST: J45815).

CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the A/C piping with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
8.Remove low-pressure pipe 2 clip (B).
9.Remove low-pressure pipe 2.
10.Remove mounting nut from low-pressure flexible hose.

CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the A/C piping and compressor with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
11.Remove low-pressure flexible hose.

INSTALLATION

Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
- Replace O-rings with new ones. Then apply compressor oil to them when installing.
- Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping straight in axial direction.
- Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
- After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to check that connection does not come loose.
- Check for leakages when recharging refrigerant.
