10. Remove mounting bolts from heater & cooling unit.
11. Remove steering column mounting nuts.
12. Remove steering member mounting bolts.
13. Remove steering member, and then remove heater & cooling unit.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Replace O-rings of A/C piping with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing
it.
Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping
straight in axial direction.
Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection
does not come loose.
When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
NOTE:
When filling radiator with coolant, refer to CO-10, "Changing Engine Coolant" (QR engine) or CO-34,
"Changing Engine Coolant" (VQ engine).
Recharge the refrigerant.
