SETTING OF SERVICE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Discharging Refrigerant
WARNING:
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant. If
accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Additional health
and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.

9. Remove mounting bolts and nut from compressor, using power tools.
10. Remove compressor from right side of the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of low-pressure flexible hose and high-pressure flexible hose with new ones, and
then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.

When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Check Disc to Pulley ClearanceBJS000JE
Check clearance around the entire periphery of clutch disc.
If specified clearance is not obtained, replace compressor.

1
BJS000HR
REMOVAL
1. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
2. Remove extension cowl top lower panel. Refer to EI-21, "
COWL TOP" .
3. Remove mounting bolts and clips.
4. Disconnect one-touch joints of low-pressure flexible hose and
low-pressure pipe 1.
a. Set a disconnector [high-pressure side (SST: 9253089908), low-
pressure side (SST: 9253089916)] on A/C piping.
b. Slide a disconnector toward vehicle front until it clicks.
c. Slide A/C piping toward vehicle front and disconnect it.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such
as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
5. Remove low-pressure pipe 1 (VQ engine).
6. Remove mounting bolt from low-pressure flexible hose.
7. Remove low-pressure flexible hose.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such
as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.
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.
