REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
SERVICE POINTS OF REMOVAL
2. REMOVAL OF TENSION PULLEY ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION BOLTS
(1) After loosening nut A (for holding the tension pulley), loosen bolt B (for adjustment) and reduce the tension of the compressor drive belt to zero.
(2) Remove the tension pulley assembly installation bolts, and then remove the tension pulley assembly together with the compressor drive belt.
11. DISCONNECTION OF SUCTION HOSE/12. DISCHARGE HOSE
If the hoses are disconnected, cap the hoses with a blank plug to prevent entry of dust, dirt, and water.
14. REMOVAL OF COMPRESSOR
CAUTION Lay the towel on the brake tube to protect them. When install the compressor, do not damage the brake tubes. This work must be done carefully so as not to spill the compressor oil.
INSPECTION
- Checking for heat damage of the tension pulley.
- Check for excessive play or deflection of the tension pulley.
- Check for unusual wear of the tension pulley.
- Check for hardening of the compressor drive belt:
- Check for unusual wear or abrasion of the compressor drive belt.
CONTINUITY AND OPERATION CHECK OF THE COMPRESSOR'S MAGNETIC CLUTCH
(1) Disconnect the compressor's connector.
(2) Check to be sure that there is continuity between body ground and terminal (1) at the compressor side.
SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
14. INSTALLATION OF COMPRESSOR
It a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil according to the procedures described below, and then install the compressor.
(1) Measure the amount (X cm3) of oil within the removed compressor.
(2) Wipe away (from the new compressor) the amount of oil calculated according to the following formula, and then install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount 80 cm3 (2.7 ft. oz.) - X cm3 = Y cm3
NOTE Y cm3 indicates the amount of oil in the refrigerant line, the condenser, the cooling unit, etc.
13. CONNECTION OF O-RING/12. DISCHARGE HOSE/11. SUCTION HOSE
(1) Take care that the 0-rings are not caught, crushed or cracked.
(2) Since the 0-ring size of suction hose is different from that of discharge hose, be sure to connection correctly.
4. INSTALLATION OF COMPRESSOR DRIVE BELT/3. TENSION PULLEY ASSEMBLY
Attach the compressor drive belt to the crankshaft pulley and the compressor's pulley, and then install the tension pulley assembly.
NOTE
(1) Hold the tension pulley assembly so that the compressor drive belt does not slip out of place; and while doing so install the tension pulley assembly.
(2) Install the tension pulley assembly installation bolts in the (1) -> (2) sequence.
