Perform lubricant return operation before each refrigeration system disassembly. However, if a large amount of refrigerant or lubricant is detected, never perform lubricant return operation. Perform Lubricant Return Operation.

REMOVAL
1. Remove low-pressure pipe. Exploded View.
2. Remove air cleaner case (LH) and air duct (LH). Exploded View
3. Remove mounting bolt from low-pressure flexible hose. Exploded View.

6. Remove high-pressure pipe.

INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
- Replace O-rings with new ones. Then apply compressor oil to them when installing.
- Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping straight in axial direction.
- Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
- After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to check that connection does not come loose.
- Check for leakages when recharging refrigerant. Leak Test.
