REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

.

<<A>> FLEXIBLE DISCHARGE HOSE / FLEXIBLE 
SUCTION HOSE DISCONNECTION

CAUTION

As the compressor oil and receiver are highly moisture 
absorbent, use a non-porous material to plug the hose and 
nipples.
To prevent the entry of dust or other foreign bodies, plug the 
dismantled hoses and compressor nipples.

.

<<B>> A/C COMPRESSOR REMOVAL

Take care not to spill any compressor oil when removing the 
compressor.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

.

>>A<< A/C COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH ASSEM-
BLY INSTALLATION

If a new compressor is installed, first adjust the amount of oil 
according to the procedures described below, and then install 
the compressor.
1. Measure the amount [X cm

3

 (X fl.oz) of oil within the 

removed compressor.

2. Drain (from the new compressor) the amount of oil 

calculated according to the following formula, and then 
install the new compressor.
New compressor oil amount = 70cm

3 

(2.4 fl.oz)

70 cm

3

 

− X cm

3

 = Y cm

3

 (2.4 fl.oz. 

− X fl.oz. = Y fl.oz)

NOTE: Y cm

3

 (Y fl.oz) indicates the amount of oil in the refrig-

erant line, the condenser, the evaporator, etc.
NOTE: When replacing the following parts at the same times as 
the compressor, subtract the rated oil amount of each part from 
Y cm

3

 (Y fl.oz) and discharge from the new compressor.

3. Tighten A/C compressor and clutch assembly mounting 

bolts to the specified torque in the order of number shown in 
the figure.

Tightening torque: 23 

± 6 N⋅m
