Compressor
Replacement
lf the compressor is marginally operable. run the
engine at idie speed, and let the air conditioner
work for a few minutes. then shut the engine off.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/recycling/
charging station (see page 22-59).
Disconnect the condenser fan connector. Remove
the compressor clutch connector and the wire har-
ness clip from the condenser fan shroud, then dis-
connect the compressor clutch connector. Remove
the mounting bolts and the condenser fan shroud,

10. Check the idler pulley bearing for play and drag,
and replace it with a new one if it's noisy or has
excessive play or drag.
lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
the following items,
. lf you're installing a new compressor, drain all the
reJrigerant oil from the removed compressor, and
measure its volume. Subtract the volume of
drained oil trom 130 m/ 14 U3 fl'o2,4.6 lmp'oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain
lrom the new compressor (through the suction fit-
trngl.
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat o{ refrigerant oil
before installing them. Be sure to use the right
O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. Use refrigerant oil (SP-10) for R-134a KEIHIN spi-
ral type compressors only.
. 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
aDsorprlon.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint; if the retrigerant oil con-
tacts the Daint, wash it off immediately.
. Adjust the Ay'C compr'essor b€lt (see psge 22-69)
and the power steering pump belt {see section
17t.
. Charge the system (see page 22-611, and test its
performance (see page 22-56]-.

rrems.
Install the field coil with the wire side facing down,
and align the boss on the tield coil with the hole in
the compressor.
Clean the rotor pulley and compressor sliding
surfaces with non-oetroleum solvent.
lnstall new snap rings A and B.
Make sure the snap rings are fully seated in the
groove.
Make sure that the rotor pulley turns smoothly
after it's reassembled.
Route and clamp the wires properly or they can

Retighten the pivot bolt of the idler pulley bracket and
the locknut ofthe adiusting bolt.
Recheck the deflection of the A,/C compressor belt,
Tension Gauge Method
1. Attach the special tool to the Ay'C compressor belt as
shown below, and measure the tension of the belt.
A/C Comoressor Belt
Used Belt; 390 - 540 N (40 - 55 kgf, 88 - 120 lbtl
New Belt: 740 - 880 N (75 - 90 kgf, 170 - 200 lbt)
Note these items when adjusting belt tension:
. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the
belt tension gauge.
. 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
for less than five minutes.
