compressor at engine idling speed, with controls set for maximum
cooling and high blower speed, for 20 to 30 minutes to return oil to
compressor.
2) Stop engine, discharge refrigerant and remove compressor
from vehicle. See SERVICING PRECAUTIONS at the beginning of this
article. Remove oil drain plug and drain oil. Measure amount of oil
drained. Install drain plug with new "O" ring.
3) If amount drained was more than 2 ounces (4.4 ounces for
Infinity), refill with same amount of new oil. If amount drained was
less than 2 ounces (4.4 ounces for Infinity), refill with 2 ounces (4.
4 ounces for Infinity). Install filler plug and recharge system.
HARRISON 4-CYL DRAIN & REFILL
NOTE: The Harrison compressor DOES NOT have an oil sump. It's
crucial that the compressor remains well oiled. It takes
very little time to destroy this compressor if it runs dry.
The Harrison 4-cyl compressor is charged (new) with 6 ounces
of refrigerant oil. Because compressor does not have an oil sump, it
should not have to be removed for oil measurement (it retains very
little oil). Note the following situations for checking and adding oil
to this compressor.
NO OIL LEAK; REPLACING COMPONENTS
If only the compressor is to be replaced, remove, drain oil,
measure and reinstall an equal amount of new oil. If evaporator is
being replaced, add 3 ounces of new oil. If condenser is being
replaced, add one ounce.
LOSS OF REFRIGERANT OVER EXTENDED PERIOD
When a loss of refrigerant has occurred over an extended
period of time and a component is being replaced to correct the leak,
add an appropriate amount of refrigerant oil to the component.
SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE OIL LEAKAGE
If system has lost excessive oil, remove accumulator. Drain
and measure oil. If more than 3 ounces is measured, replace the same
amount of new oil as was drained. If less than 3 ounces is measured,
add 3 ounces of new oil. Add and additional 2 ounces of new oil to
compensate for that lost by replacing the accumulator (held in
desiccant).
NOTE: If the exact oil charge is in doubt, drain and flush system.
Add a new 6-ounce charge of refrigerant oil to the system.

To install, reverse removal procedure. Ensure snap rings are
installed with beveled side up. tighten shaft bolt to 10 ft. lbs.
(14 N.m). Ensure clutch clearance is .014-.026" (.36-66 mm). adjust
clearance by adding or subtracting shims as necessary.
NIPPONDENSO 6 & 10-CYL SHAFT SEAL R & I
NOTE: Check compressor refrigerant oil level when replacing seals.
See COMPRESSOR OIL CHECKING article in the AIR CONDITIONING &
HEAT section.
Removal
1) Hold clutch hub stationary and remove center nut. Screw
remover into center of hub. Turn center bolt to remove pressure plate.
2) Remove shims from shaft. Remove snap ring from inside of
pulley. Tap pulley off of shaft with plastic mallet. Be careful not to
distort pulley while removing.
3) Disconnect clutch coil wires from compressor housing.
remove snap ring inside coil and lift coil off compressor. Pry dust
seal out from around compressor shaft (if equipped).
4) Place shaft key remover on shaft and turn to remove key.
Remove drain plug (if equipped). Remove service valves-to-compressor
body bolts. Remove valves. Discard "O" rings. Drain oil out of
compressor.
5) Remove 6 through bolts from front head of compressor and
discard washers. Tap head loose from compressor; be careful not to
scratch sealing surfaces. remove snap ring (if equipped) from front
housing. Press seal plate out. Remove seal from shaft. See Fig. 12.
Installation
1) Lubricate shaft seal with clean refrigerant oil and place
on compressor shaft. Lubricate seal plate and "O" ring (if equipped)
and install in front housing. Install snap ring (if equipped).
2) Place front housing on compressor body. Install through
bolts with new washers. Tighten bolts evenly and alternately to
18 ft. lbs. (24 N.m). Install shaft key using installer and plastic
mallet. Insert dust seal into front of compressor.
3) Install drain plug with new gasket. Add correct amount of
refrigerant oil to compressor. If service valves were removed, coat
new "O" rings with refrigerant oil and install service valves.
4) Place clutch coil on compressor and install snap ring.
Install shims on shaft to adjust pressure plate-to-rotor clearance to
.016-.028" (.41-.71 mm). Tighten shaft nut to 12 ft. lbs. (16 N.m).
