of the shaft.
6. Install Compressor Leak Test Fixture (J-9625)
on rear head of compressor and connect gage charg-
ing lines as shown in Figure
9B-112. Pressurize suc-
tion side of compressor with Refrigerant-12 vapor to
drum pressure. Temporarily install the shaft nut and,
with compressor horizontal and oil sump down,
ro-tate the compressor shaft in nornial direction of rota-
tion several times by hand. Leak, test the seal with a
propane torch type leak
detectot; in good condition.
Correct any leak found. Remove and discard the
shaft nut.
7. Remove any excess oil, resulting from installing
the new seal parts, from the shaft and inside the
compressor neck.8. Install the new absorbent sleeve by rolling the
material into a cylinder, overlapping the ends, and
slipping it into the compressor neck with the overlap
at the top of the compressor. Using a small screw-
driver or similar instrument, carefully spread the
sleeve so that in its final position, the ends butt
together at the top vertical centerline. Install the new
sleeve retainer so that its flange face will be against
the front end of the sleeve. Using the sleeve from

Functional Test Procedures1. Place transmission in park for automatics and in
neutral for manuals. Apply hand brake.
2. Turn blower switch to HI position,
3. Turn temperature switch to MAX position-.
4. Run engine at 2000 RPM for ten (10) minutes with
car doors and windows closed and the hood up. Place
a commercial high volumn fan in front of condenser
if head pressure should exceed 250 psig.A commercial high volumn fan should be placed in
front of the condenser at high ambients to bring the
pressures to within the limits specified in the Func-
tional Charts. When testing the Opel 1900 and
Man& a thermometer should be placed in a position
to read the temperature of the air discharging from
the right-hand A/C outlet. When testing the GT, a
thermometer should be placed in a position to read
the temperature of the air discharging, from the left-
rear
,A /c outlet.
