Replacement
lf the compressor is marginally operable, run the
engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioner
work a few minutes. Then shut the engine off.
Recover the refrigerant with a Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System \see page 22-22).
Remove the power steering pump (see section 17).
NOTE: Do not disconnect the hoses from the power
steering pump.
Disconnect the condenser fan connector.
Disconnect the compressor clutch connector, then
remove the compressor clutch connector and the
clips from the condenser fan shroud
Remove the two mounting bolts and the condenser
fan shroud.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the radiator fins
when removing the condenser fan shroud.

10. lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
these rtems:
) 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 140 m{ 14 2/3ll.oz,4.93 imp.oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain
from the new compressor (through the suction
{itting).
r 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-'t34a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. use refrigerant oil (ND-OlL 8: P/N 38897 PR7-
A0IAH or 38899 - PR7 - A01) for R-'134a DENSO
piston 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
aDsorDt|on.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil con-
tacts the Daint, wash it off immediately.
. Do not damage the radiator fins when installing
the condenser fan shroud and the compressor.
. Adjust the Ay'C compressoi belt {see page 22-36J
. Adjust the power steering pump belt (see section
17J.
. Charge the system (see page 22-39) and test its
performance {see Page 22-24).

a Do not damage the radiator and condenser fins
when installing the condenser.
