DISASSEMBLY
1. Disassemble cylinder heads by removing cylinder head
bolts. Leave at least two bolts partially threaded to pre-
vent any problems if refrigerant is accidently left in the
compressor under pressure. To separate the cylinder
head from the valve plate, pry up between the head and
valve plate. When the cylinder head is separated from
the compressor body remove the last threaded bolts.
2. Inspect cylinder heads for warping, cracking, or damage
to gasket surfaces. Replace if necessary.
3. After the cylinder head is off, the valve plate may be
removed as follows:
a. Remove one valve stop cap screw and loosen the
other.
b. Swivel valve stop to allow access to hole from which
the cap screw was removed.
c. Re-insert cap screw and tighten to break valve plate
away from compressor. (Jack screw method, see
Fig. 2). For 06E valve plates, pry against the raised
tab to break valve plate away from the compressor.
CAUTION
Do not hit the cylinder head to break it free of the valve
plate. This may shear the valve plate dowel pins. Sheared
dowel pins usually require that the compressor be replaced.
