Installation
AIR CONDITIONING: COMPRESSOR (for 2AR-FE): INSTALLATION
1. ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL
(a) When replacing the compressor and pulley with a new one, gradually discharge the inert gas (helium) from the service valve, and drain the following amount of oil from the vents indicated by the arrows in the illustration before installation.
HINT
The drain bolt and washer can be reused.
Standard:
AC (Oil capacity inside the new compressor and pulley: 130 + 15 cc (4.4 + 0.51 fl.oz.)) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed compressor and pulley) = (Oil amount to be removed from the new compressor and pulley when replacing)
NOTICE:
* If a new compressor and pulley is installed without removing some oil, due to the oil remaining in the pipes of the vehicle, the oil amount will be too large. This prevents heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causes refrigeration system failure.
* If the volume of oil remaining in the removed compressor and pulley is too small, check for oil leakage.
* Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 or equivalent for compressor oil.
2. INSTALL COMPRESSOR AND PULLEY (for TMC Made)
(a) Install the compressor and pulley with the 4 bolts.

HINT
Tighten the bolts and nuts in the order shown in the illustration to install the compressor.
4. INSTALL NO. 1 COOLER REFRIGERANT DISCHARGE HOSE
(a) Remove the attached vinyl tape from the hose.
(b) Apply sufficient compressor oil to a new O-ring and the fitting surface of the compressor and pulley.

(c) Install the O-ring onto the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose.
(d) Install the No. 1 cooler refrigerant discharge hose onto the compressor and pulley with the bolt.
Torque : 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf)
5. INSTALL NO. 1 COOLER REFRIGERANT SUCTION HOSE
(a) Remove the attached vinyl tape from the hose.

Compressor oil:
ND-OIL 8 or equivalent
(c) Install the O-ring onto the No. 1 cooler refrigerant suction hose.
(d) Install the No. 1 cooler refrigerant suction hose onto the compressor and pulley with the bolt.
Torque : 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf)
(e) Engage the 2 clamps.
(f) Connect the connector.
