A: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1) Disconnect battery negative terminal.
2) Discharge refrigerant using refrigerant recovery system.

3) Remove front grille.
G2M0375
4) Remove canister from bracket.
CAUTION:
Do not disconnect hose from canister.
Insert air vent hose of canister into the hole on body.

B4M0097
7) Remove the two bolts which secure condenser. While
lifting condenser, remove it through space between radia-
tor and radiator panel.
B4M0098A
8) The condenser should be installed in the reverse order
in which it was removed.
When installing the condenser, pay attention to the follow-
ing:
CAUTION:
Before connecting the pipe, be sure to apply oil to the
periphery of O-ring.

12. Condenser

NOTE:
After installing condenser, ensure that guide on lower side
of condenser is inserted into hole in radiator panel. Tighten
attaching bolts.
9) Charge refrigerant.
B: INSPECTION
1) Make sure the condenser fins are free from dust and
insects. If the fins are clogged, clean by blowing air or
water through them.
NOTE:
To prevent dust and water from getting into the condenser,
this work must be done when the condenser is installed in
an actual vehicle.
2) Check the condenser to see if it shows any sign of oil.
Should oil ooze or gas leak from the condenser replace it
with a new one.

3) Disconnect the connection between the expansion
valve and pipe from receiver drier.
4) Remove the expansion valve from pipes.
5) To install expansion valve, reverse removal procedures.
Properly wrap capillary tube of expansion valve with seal.
6) Check to see if the evaporator fins are clogged. If they
are, clean them with compressed air.
CAUTION:
Water must never be used to clean the evaporator.
7) Check parts that have been removed for cracks or
scratches, and repair or replace them with new ones, if
necessary.
8) Reassemble the evaporator in the reverse order of dis-
assembly.
NOTE:
Confirm that the O-ring is inserted in the specified position.
