Clutch Overhaul (cont'd)
Remove the screw from the field coil ground termi-nal. Remove the snap ring A with snap ring pliers.
then remove the field coil. Be careful not to damaoethe field coil and compressor.
SNAP NING AReplace.
Reassemble the compressor clutch in the reverseorder of disassembly, and note these rrems:
o Install the field coil with the wire side facingdown.
a Clean the pulley and compressor sliding surfaceswith non-petroleum solvent.. Install new snap rings, and make sure thev arefully seated in the groove.
. Make sure that the pulley turns smoothly afterit's reassembled.
. Route and clamp the wires p.operly or they canbe damaged by pulley.

Remove the relief valve and the O-ring. plug theopening to keep foreign matter from entering thesystem and the compressor oilfrom running out.
Clean the mating surfaces.
Replace the O-ring with a new one at the relief valve.and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before install-ing it.
Remove the plug, and install and tighten the reliefvatve.

When an A,/C System has been opened to the atmo-
sphere, such as during installation or repair, it must
be evacuated using a R-134a refrigerant recovery/
recycling/charging station. (lf the system has been
open for several days, the receiver/dryer should be
replaced, and the system should be evacuated for
several hours.)
Connect a R-134a refrigerant recovery/
recycling/charging station to the vehicle, as shown'
following the equipment manufacturer's instruc-
trons.
NOTE: lf low pressure does not reach more than 93 3
kPa (7OO mmHg,27.6 in.Hgl in 15 minutes, there is

Check the system for leaks using a R-134a refriger-
ant leak detector with an accuracy of 14 9 10.5 ozlper yea. or better.
lf you find leaks that require the system to be opened(to repair or replace hoses. fittings. etc.), recover the
system according to the Recovery Procedure on page

After checking and repairing leaks. the system must
be evacuated (see System Evacuation on page 22-451.
