Any kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant plumb-
ing will reduce the capacity of the entire air condi-
tioning system. Kinks and sharp bends reduce the
flow of refrigerant in the system. A good rule for the
flexible hose refrigerant lines is to keep the radius of
all bends at least ten times the diameter of the hose.
In addition, the flexible hose refrigerant lines should
be routed so they are at least 80 millimeters (3
inches) from the exhaust manifold.
High pressures are produced in the refrigerant sys-
tem when the air conditioning compressor is operat-
ing. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure
that each of the refrigerant system connections is
pressure-tight and leak free. It is a good practice to
inspect all flexible hose refrigerant lines at least once
a year to make sure they are in good condition and
properly routed.
NOTE: If a replacement compressor is being
installed, be certain to check the refrigerant oil
level. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING/REFRIGERANT OIL - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE) Use only refrigerant oil of the type
recommended for the compressor in the vehicle.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING/REFRIGERANT OIL - DESCRIPTION)
(1) Install the compressor. Tighten the 4.0L
mounting bolts fastening the compressor to the block
to 45-65 N´m (35-50 ft. lbs.). Tighten the mounting
bolts holding the rear brace to the compressor and
block to 40-55 N´m (30-40 ft. lbs.). Tighten the 4.7L
compressor front mounting screws to 45-65 N´m
(35-50 ft. lbs.), and the rear mounting screws to
35-45 N´m (25-35 ft. lbs.).
(2) Remove the tape or plugs from all of the
opened refrigerant line fittings. Install the suction
line and discharge line fittings to the manifold on the
compressor. Tighten the mounting bolts to 25.4 N´m
(225 in. lbs.).
(3) Install the serpentine drive belt. Refer to Cool-
ing for the procedures.
(4) Plug in the compressor clutch coil wire harness
connector.
(5) Connect the battery negative cable.(6) Evacuate the refrigerant system. (Refer to 24 -
