1. If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a
few minutes, then shut the engine off.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/charging station.
4. Loosen the drive belt.
5. Remove the nuts, then disconnect the suction line(A) and discharge(B) line from the compressor.Plug or cap
the lines immediately after disconnecting them to avoid moisture and dust contamination.
6. Disconnect the compressor clutch connector(A), then remove the mounting bolts and the compressor(B).
7. Using a hexagon wrench(6mm) remove the bolts, the manifold assembly(A) and the gasket(B) from the
compressor.
8. Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items.
A. If you're installing a new compressor, drain all the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor, and
measure its volume, Subtract the volume of drained oil from 150ml the result is the amount of oil you
should drain from the new compressor (through the suction fitting).
B. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing
them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a to avoid leakage.
