10. lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
these rtems:
) lf you're installing a new compressor, drain all
the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor,
and measure its volume, Subtract the volume of
drained oil from 140 m{ 14 2/3ll.oz,4.93 imp.oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain
from the new compressor (through the suction
{itting).
r Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil
before installing them.
NOTE: Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC-'t34a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. use refrigerant oil (ND-OlL 8: P/N 38897 PR7-
A0IAH or 38899 - PR7 - A01) for R-'134a DENSO
piston type compressors onlY.
. To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to
the container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.
. lmmediately after using the oil, replace the cap
on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture
aDsorDt|on.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil con-
tacts the Daint, wash it off immediately.
. Do not damage the radiator fins when installing
the condenser fan shroud and the compressor.
. Adjust the Ay'C compressoi belt {see page 22-36J
. Adjust the power steering pump belt (see section
17J.
. Charge the system (see page 22-39) and test its
performance {see Page 22-24).

Clutch Inspection
Check the plated parts of the pressure plate for color
changes, peeling or other damage. lf there is dam-
age, replace the clutch set.
Check the pulley bearing play and drag by rotating
the pulley by hand. Replace the clutch set with a new
one if it is noisy or has excessive play/drag.
Measure the clearance between the Dullev and thepressure plate all the way around. lf the clearance is
not within specified limits, the pressure plate must beremoved and shims added or removed as required,following the procedure on page 22-33.
Clearanca: 0.50 t 0.15 mm (0.020 r 0.006 in)
NOTE; The shims are available in three thicknesses:
0.1 mm, 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm.

Check resistance of the field coil.
Field Coil Resistance: 3.6 1 0.2 ohm at 68'F {20'C)
lf resistance is not within specifications, replace the
field coil.

Remove the relief valve and the O-ring. Plug the
opening to keep foreign matter from entering the

tem.

A/C System Service
Evacuation
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer-
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner svstem.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner refrigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irtitate eyes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing the air conditioner refrigerant
and lubricant vapor or mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
compressed air.
!@@l some mixtures ot air and R-t3ita have
been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures
and can result in fire of explosion causing injury orproperty damage. Never use compressed air to pressure
test R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditionet
svstems.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained
from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
When an A"/C Svstem has been ooened to the atmo-
sphere, such as during installation or repair, it must
be evacuated using a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/
Recycling/Charging System. (lf the system has been
open for several days, the receiver/dryer should bereplaced, and the system should be evacuated for
several hours.)
Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the vehicle, as shown, follow-
ing the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: lf low pressure does not reach more than
93.3 kPa (700 mm H9,27.6 in.Hg) in 15 minures,
there is probably a leak in the system. Partially
charge the system, and check for leaks (see Leak
Test).
