Compressor Sealing Washers Replacement

IMPORTANT: If you use the correct washers, there should be a space of 1.2 mm (0.047 in) between the suction/discharge hose block and the compressor rear head.




1. Clean all of the sealing surfaces with a lint-free rag in order to prevent dirt or foreign material from getting into the following sealing surface components:
^ The washers
^ The hose block
^ The compressor ports
2. Install the sealing washer onto the pilots of the suction/discharge fitting.
Ensure that the washers are seated against the surface of the block fitting.




3. Install the hose block to the compressor.

Ensure that the sealing washers are seated within the compressor's machined surfaces.

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

4. Hold the block in place and tighten the attachment bolt by hand.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 33 N.m (24 lb ft).
