Plug the hose nipple removed to prevent the entry of dust and dirt.

<<B>> DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
Refer to GROUP 14, Radiator fan .

<<C>> A/C COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Be careful not to spill the A/C compressor oil and remove the A/C compressor.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

>>A<< A/C COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
When installing the new A/C compressor, install the A/C compressor after adjusting the oil volume as follows.

  1. Measure the oil of A/C compressor removed. (X mL)
  2. Drain the oil (Y mL) given by the following expression from a new A/C compressor, and then install the A/C compressor.
    <Single A/C>120 mL - X mL = Y mL
    <Dual A/C>180 mL - X mL = Y mL
    note
    1. 120 mL <Single A/C> or 180 mL <Dual A/C> shows the oil volume contained in the new A/C compressor.
    2. Y mL shows the oil volume stored in the refrigerant line, condenser, and cooling unit, etc.
