A/C Receiver/Dryer Desiccant Replacement
NOTE: Install the receiver/dryer as quickly as possible to prevent the system from absorbing moisture from the air.
  1. Remove the cap (A) from the bottom of the A/C condenser. Remove the O-ring (B) and the desiccant (C).
  1. Install the receiver/dryer in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • Replace the O-rings with new ones, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil (SP-10) before installing them. Be sure to use the correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
    • Install the cap to the specified torque. It is made of resin and can be easily stripped.
