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).

A/C Compressor Belt
Adiustment
Dellection Method
1. Apply a force of 98 N i10 kgf, 22 lbf), and measure
the deflection between the A,/C compressor and the
crankshaft pullev.
A/C Compressor Belt
Used Belt: 7.5 - 9.5 mm (0.30 - 0.37 in)
New Beli: 5.0 - 7.0 mm (0.20 - 0.28 in)
Power Steering Pump Belt
Used Bslt: 11.5 - 13.5 mm (0.i15 - 0.53 in)
New Belt: 8.0 - 10.0 mm (0.31 - 0.39 in)
NOTE:
. lf there are cracks or any damage evident on the
belt, replace it with a new one.
. "Used belt" means a belt which has been used
for five minutes or more.
. "New belt" means a belt which has been used
for less than five minutes.
Loosen the adjust pulley bracket pivot bolt and the
adjusting bolt lock nut of the lVC compressor belt.
Turn the adjusting bolt to get proper belt tension,
then retighten the adjust pulley bracket pivot bolt
and the adjusting bolt lock nut.
Recheck the deflection of the Ay'C compressor belt.

Tension Gauge Method
1. Attach the belt tension gauge to the Ay'C compres-
sor belt as shown below, and measure the tension
of the belt.
A/C Comprossor Belt
Used Belt: 390 - 5/rc N (4O - 55 kgf. 88 - 120 lbf)
New Bslt: 7,10 - 880 N (75 - 90 kgf, 170 - 200 lbf)

Used Belt: 390 - 540 N (ito - 55 kgl, g8 - i20 tbtlNew Belt: 740 - 880 N (75 - 90 kgt, 170 - 200 tbtl
NOTE:
. lf there are cracks or any damage evident on thebelt, replace it with a new one.. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for thebelt tension gauge.
. "Used belt" means a belt which has been usedfor five minutes or more.. "New belt" means a belt which has been usedfor less than five minutes.
Loosen the adjust pulley bracket pivot bolt and theadjusting bolt lock nut of the A,/C compressor belt.
Turn the adjusting bolt to get proper belt tension,then retighten the adjust pulley bracket pivot boltand the adjusting bolt lock nut.
Recheck the tension of the A,/C compressor belt.
