REMOVAL
Preparation:
·Disconnect the battery ground cable
·Discharge and recover refrigerant (Refer to
ÒREFRIGERANT RECOVERYÓ in this section.)

PANEL ASSEMBLY removal procedure.
6. Resistor and Electronic Thermostat Connector
7. Drain Hose
8. Refrigerant Line
·Use a back-up wrench when disconnecting and
reconnecting the refrigerant lines.
·When removing the refrigerant line connected part,
the connecting part should immediately be
plugged or capped to prevent foreign matter from
being mixed into the line.
9. Evaporator Assembly
INSTALLATION
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order,
noting the following points:
1. To install a new evaporator assembly, add 50cc
(1.4 Imp fl oz) of new compressor oil to a new core.
2. Tighten the refrigerant outlet line to the specified
torque.
Outlet Line Torque Nám (kgám / lbáft)
25 (2.5 / 18)
3. Tighten the refrigerant inlet line to the specified
torque.
Inlet Line Torque Nám (kgám / lbáft)
15 (1.5 / 11)
4. O-rings cannot be reused. Always replace with new
ones.
5. Be sure to apply new compressor oil to the O-rings
when connecting lines.

Installation
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse
order, noting the following points:
1. The sensor is installed on the core with the clip.
2. The sensor must not interfere with the
evaporator core.
3. When installing the new evaporator core, install
the thermo sensor (2) to the evaporator core (1)
specified position with the clip in the illustration.
