4. All Removed Parts - Install
- Install the parts in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- If you're installing a new A/C condenser, add refrigerant oil
- New O-rings should be used at each fitting. Prior to installation,
apply a thin coat of the same
refrigerant oil used in the A/C compressor. Be sure to use the correct
O-rings for HFC-134a
(R-134a) to avoid leakage.
- Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container,
and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
- Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle, because it may
damage painted surfaces. If
refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off with water immediately.
- Charge the system with the specified amount of R-134a refrigerant.
