Gompressor
Description
This compressor is a Nippondenso piston type compressor for HFC-134a (R-'|34a). A revolving inclined disc drives the sur-
rounding 10 reciprocating prstons. As the inclined disc revolves. it pushes the pistons, protected by a ceramic shoe, thus
compressing the ref rigerant

Glutch Inspection
Check the plated parts ot the pressure plate tor color
changes. peeling or other damage. lf there is dam-
8ge, replace the clutch set.
Check the pulley bearing play and drag by rotating
the pulley by hand. Replace the clutch set with a new
one if it is noisv or has excessive play/drag
Measure the clearance betlveen the pulley and the
pressure plate all the way around. lf the clearance is
not within specified limits, the pressure plate must be
removed and shims added or removed as required.
Jollowing the procedure on page 22-33.
Clearrnce: 0.50 t 0.15 mm {0.02 i 0.01 inl
NOTE: The shims are available in three thicknesses:
0.1 mm, 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.
22-32
Check resistance of the tield coil.
Fisld Coil Rosistance: 3.6 t 0.2 ohm at 68"F {20'C)
lf resistance is not within specifications, replace the

Remove the screw from the field coil ground terma-
nal. Remove snap ring A with snap rjng pliers, then
remove the field coil.
NOTE:
. Be careful not to damage the field coil
pressor during removal/installation.
. Once snap ring A is removed, replace
new one.
SNAP RING AReplace.
FIELDcorL
5. lnstall in the reverse order of removal, and:
install the field coil with the wire side facing
down (see above).
clean the pulley and compressor sliding surfaces
with non-petroleum solvent.
check the pulley bearings for excessive play.
make sure the snap rings are in the groove prop-
efly.
apply locking agent to the threads of the center
bolt, and tighten it securelY
make sure that the pulley turns smoothly after
it's reassembled.
1. Remove the relief valve and the O-ring.
NOTE:
. Do not let the compressor oil run out.
. Make sure there is no foreign matter in the sys-
tem.
RELIEF VALVE13.2 N.m {1.35 kgtm,9.76lbtftl
2. lnstall and tighten the relief valve.
Clean the mating surfaces.
Replace the O-ring with a new one at the relief
valve, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oal
(ND-OIL 8: P/N 38899 - PR7 - A01) before install-
ing it.
NOTE:
. 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 car; lt
may damage the painu if the refrigerant oil
contacts the paint, wash it off immediately.
Check for leaks, and insert the cap in the top of
the valve.
