9. lf necessary, remove the compressor bracket as fol-
lows.
. Remove the nut and the washer.
NOTE: When tightening the nut of the left front
mount, make sure the washer is set properly on
the left front engine mount as shown.
. Remove the four mounting bolts and the com-
pressor bracket.

10. lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
the following items.
. lf 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 '130m? 14 1/3 tl'o2,4 6 lmp'oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain
from the new compressor (through the suction
fifting).
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil
before installing them
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-
134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage
. Use refrigerant oil (SP-10) for R-134a Sanden and
Hadsys spiral type compressors only'
o To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to
the container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.
. lmmediatelY after using the oil, replace the cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the painu if the refrigerant oil con-
tacts the paint, wash it off immediately
. Adjust the Ay'C compressor belt (see page 22-43)
and the power steering pump belt (see section 17)'
. Charge the system (see page 22-46), and test its
oerformance (see Page 22-241

9. Remove the bolts, the suction service valve and theO-ring from the compressor,
lf necessary, remove the compressor bracket as fol-lows.
. Remove the nut and the washer from the left frontmount. When tightening the nut to the left frontmount, make sure the washer is set p.operly onthe left front mount as shown.

1 1. Install in the reverse order of removal, and note thesertems:
lf you're installing a new compressor. drain all therefrigerant oil from the removed compressor. andmeasure its volume. Subtract the volume ofdrained oil from '140 ml (4 28 fl{,z, 4.9 lmpoz); theresult is the amount of oil you should drain fromthe new compressor (through the suction fifting).Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fining,and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil beforeinstalling them. Be sure to use the right O,ringsfor HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
Use refrigerant oil {DENSO, ND-OtL8) for HFC-134aDENSO piston type compressors only.To avoid contamination, do not return the oil tothe container once dispensed, and never mix itwith other refrigerant oils.
lmmediately after using the oil, replace the capon the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption.
Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; itmay damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil con-tacts the paint, wash it off immediatelv.
Adjust the ly'C compressor belt (see page 22-43)and the power steering pump belt (see section 17).Charge the system (see page 22-46), and test itsperformance (see page 22-24!..

A/G GomPressor Belt
Adjustment
Detlection Method
'1. Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf), and measure
the deflection between the A,/C compressor and the
crankshaft PulleY
A/C ComPressor Belt
Used Belt: 816A2 engine
6.0 - 9.5 mm 10 2'l - 0.37 inl
Except 816A2 engine

Note these items when adjusting belt tens'on:
. lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the
belt, replace it with a new one.
. "Used belt" means a belt which has been used
for five minutes or more.
. "New belt" means a belt which has been used
tor less than five minutes.
2. Loosen, the center nut ofthe idler pulley (SANDEN), or
the pivot bolt of the idler pulley bracket and the lock
nut ofthe adjusting bolt (DENSO).
3. Turn the adjusting bolt to get proper belt tension'
4. Retighten the center nut of the idler pulley (SANDEN),
or the pivot bolt of the idler pulley bracket and the lock
nut of the adjusting bolt (DENSO).
5. Recheck the deflection of the A,/C compressor belt'
Tension Gauge Method
1. Attach the special tool to the IVC compressor belt as
shown below, and measure the tension of the belt
