Preliminary Information

Compressor Shaft Seal:

Compressor Rear View:

When replacing the shaft seal assembly, pressure relief valve or rear head mounted pressure switches, even if the compressor remains on the vehicle during the operation, it will be necessary to discharge the system of refrigerant.

Other than clutch repair procedures, the same holds true for any disassembly of the compressor.

A clean workbench covered with a sheet of clean paper, and a place (clean trays, etc.) for all parts being removed and replaced is important, as is the use of the proper, clean service tools.

NOTICE: Any attempt to use makeshift or inadequate service tools or equipment may result in damage and/or improper compressor operation.
