and replace it with a new one if it's noisy or has
excessive play or drag.
lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
the following items,
. lf you're installing a new compressor, drain all the
reJrigerant oil from the removed compressor, and
measure its volume. Subtract the volume of
drained oil trom 130 m/ 14 U3 fl'o2,4.6 lmp'oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain
lrom the new compressor (through the suction fit-
trngl.
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat o{ refrigerant oil
before installing them. Be sure to use the right
O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. Use refrigerant oil (SP-10) for R-134a KEIHIN spi-
ral 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
aDsorprlon.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint; if the retrigerant oil con-
tacts the Daint, wash it off immediately.
. Adjust the Ay'C compr'essor b€lt (see psge 22-69)
and the power steering pump belt {see section
17t.

)Steering-related Precautions
Stooring Wh€el and Csble Re6l Alignm€nt
To avoid misalignment of the steering wheel on
reassembly, make sure the wheels are turned straight
ahead beJore removing the steering wheel.
To center the cable reel, rotate the cable reel clockwise
until it stops, Then rotate it counterclockwise (approxi-
mately two and a half turns) until the arrow mark on the
cable reel label points straight up.
Steering Column Bemoval
CAUTION: Before removing the stosring column, tirsi
disconneqt tha connsctor between tho cabls roel and
the SRS main harness.
lf the steering column is going to be removed without
dismounting the steering wheel, lock the sieering by
turning the ignition key to o-LOCK position, or remove
the key trom the ignition so that the steering wheel will
not turn.
LABEL
NOTE:
. When the airbag and cable r6el are disconnected, and
the battery is reconnected and the ignition switch is
turned ON (ll), the SRS unit will store this as an open
in the driver's airbag inflator, and the SRS indicator
light will come on, In such a case, make sure to con-
firm the DTC, then clear the SRS unit memory.
. For disconnecting the spring-loaded lock type con-
nector, refer to page 24-22.
'97 model:

'98 - 00 models:
UNDER-DASHFUSE/RELAY BOX
Do not replace the original steering wheel with any other
design because it will make it impossible to properly
install the airbag (use only genuine Honda replacement
partsl.
After reassemblv, confirm the wheels are still turned
straight ahead and that the steering wheel spoke angle
is correct. lf minor spoke angle adjustment is necessary,
do so only by adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing
and repositioning the steering whee .
