Compressor Replacement

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: When replacing the compressor, drain the oil and measure the amount. Add this amount when installing a new compressor. New compressors are shipped with 120 ml (4.0 ft oz) of oil. Drain oil from the new compressor as necessary in order to ensure that the removed amount of oil and the added amount of oil are equal.




1. Discharge and recover the refrigerant. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging. Service and Repair

CAUTION: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Service Precautions.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove 1 bolt (2) and the suction hose (1) from the compressor.
4. Remove 1 bolt (2) and the discharge hose (3) from the compressor.
5. Discard the O-rings.
6. Cap all of the refrigerant line openings in order to keep out dirt and moisture.
7. Disconnect the compressor clutch electrical connector.
