Compressor Manifold and Tube Assembly
COMPRESSOR MANIFOLD AND TUBE ASSEMBLYRemoval and Installation
CAUTION: Refrigerant compressor oil F73Z-19577-AA (Motorcraft YN-9-A) should be used to lubricate R-134a refrigerant system O-ring seals only and should not be added to R-134a refrigerant systems as an A/C compressor lubricant. PAG refrigerant compressor oil F7AZ-19D589-DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B only should be used as an A/C compressor lubricant.
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not required when repairing the air conditioning system, except when there is physical evidence of contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator.
1. Recover the refrigerant.
2. Disconnect the A/C pressure sensor electrical connector.
3. Loosen the bolt and detach the compressor manifold and tube assembly from the A/C compressor.
- Discard the O-ring seals.
4. Disconnect the spring-lock coupling.
- Discard the O-ring seals.
5. Disconnect the A/C fitting and remove the compressor manifold and tube assembly.
- Discard the O-ring seals.
6. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Install new O-ring seals lubricated in clean mineral oil.
- Lubricate the refrigerant system with the correct amount of clean PAG oil.
