Reassembly
NOTE:
. Clean the disassembled parts with a solvent and dry them with compressed air. Do not dip the rubber parts in a sol-
vent.
. Always replace the O-rings and rubber seals with new ones before assembly.
. Apply power steering fluid or steering grease {HONDA P/N: 08733 - 8070E) to the parts indicated in the assembly pro-
cedures.
. Do not allow dust, dirt. or other foreign materials to enter the power steering system.
. Use the appropriate specialtools where necessary.

NOTE:
. Do not over-expand the seal ring. Install the resin
seal rings with care so as not to damage them.
After installation, be sure to contract the seal
rings using the specialtool {sizing tool}.
. There are two types of sleeve seal rings: black
and brown. Do not mix the different types of
sleeve seal rings as they are not compatible.
Set the special tool in the grooves in the sleeve. and
set each ring in each groove securely.
NOTE: After installation, compress the seal rings
with your fingers temporarily.

Description
Outline
The air conditioner system delivers cooled air into the passenger compartment by circulating refrigerant through the sys-
tem as shown below.
CONDENSOR
This car uses HFC-134a {R-134a) refrigerant which does not contain chlorofluorocarbons Pay attention to the following
service items:
. Do not mix refrigerants CFC-I2 (R-l21 and HFC-134a (R-134a) They are not compatible'
. Use onty the recommended potyatkytenegtycol {PAG) refrigerant oil (ND-OIL 8: P/N 38899-PR7-A01) designed for the R-
134a compressor. Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other refrigerant oil will result in com-
pressor tailure.

. Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a'
. R-.12 and C-l34a refrigerant servicing equipment are not interchangeable. Only use a Recovery/Recyclins/Charging
System that is U.L.-listed and is certifLd to meet the requirements of sAE J2210 to service R-134a air conditioning sys-
rems.
. Always recover the refrigerant R-134a with an approved Recover/Recycling/Charging System before disconnecting any
A,/C fitting.

3. Carefully separate the housings and remove theevaporator.
4. lf necessary, remove the expansion valve.
NOTE: When loosening the expansion valve nuts.use a second wrench to hold the expansion valve orevaporator pipe. Otherwise, they can be damaged.
Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly, and:
. feplace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting,and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil (ND-OIL 8:P/N 38899 - PR7 - A01) before installing them.NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-134a {R-134a) to avoid leakage.. install the expansion valve capillary tube withthe capillary tube in contact with the suction linedi.ectly, and wrap it with tape.. reinstall the Ay'C thermostat sensor to its originallocation.
