11. Remove mounting nuts and bolts, and then remove instrument stays (left and right side).
12. Remove mounting bolts from heater & cooling unit assembly.
13. Disconnect drain hose.
14. Remove ventilator ducts, defroster nozzle and ducts.
15. Remove steering member mounting bolts, nut and harness clips.
16. Remove the steering member, and then remove heater & cooling unit assembly.
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.

Connection point for female-side piping is thin. So, when inserting male-side piping, take care not
to deform female-side piping. Slowly insert in axial direction.

Insert one-touch joint connection point securely until it clicks.

After piping has been connected, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure piping does not
come off.

4. Position center pulley puller on the end of drive shaft, and
remove pulley assembly using any commercially available pul-
ley puller.
To prevent pulley groove from being deformed, puller claws
should be positioned into edge of the pulley assembly.

6. Remove snap ring using external snap ring pliers.
Inspection
Clutch disc
If the contact surface shows signs of damage due to excessive heat,
replace clutch disc and pulley.
Pulley
Check appearance of pulley assembly. If contact surface of pulley
shows signs of excessive grooving, replace clutch disc and pulley.
Contact surfaces of pulley assembly should be cleaned with a suit-
able solvent before reinstallation.
Coil
Check coil for loose connection or cracked insulation.
