Tightening torque : 20~25N.m (2.0~2.5kgf.m, 14.5~18.2lb-ft)
2. | Remove the desiccant (A) from condenser using a long nose plier. Check for crumbled desiccant and clogged bottom cap filter.
3. | Apply air conditioning compressor oil along the O-rings and threads of the new bottom cap.
4. | Insert the new desiccant into the receiver drier tank. The desiccant must be sealed in vacuum before it is exposed to air for use.
5. | Install the new bottom cap to the condenser.
- | Always replace the desiccant and bottom cap at the same time.
- | Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a to avoid leakage.
- | Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
- | Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
