3.

Remove mounting bolt (A) from low-pressure flexible hose
bracket (1).

4.

Disconnect one-touch joint between low-pressure flexible hose
(2) and low-pressure pipe 2 (3) with disconnector (B) (SST:
9253089916).

CAUTION:

Cap or wrap the joint of the A/C piping with suitable mate-
rial such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.

5.

Remove mounting nut (A), and then remove low-pressure flexi-
ble hose (1).

CAUTION:

suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.

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 make sure that connection

does not come loose.

• Check for leakages when recharging refrigerant.
