12. Remove mounting bolts from heater & cooling unit assembly.
13. Remove steering column assembly mounting nuts and bolt.
14. Remove steering member mounting bolts, and then remove steering member.
15. Remove heater & cooling unit assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Replace O-rings of low-pressure pipe 2 and high-pressure pipe 1 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" .

Recharge the refrigerant.

WARNING:
Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from A/C system using certified service equipment meeting
requirements of SAE J-2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment] or J-2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a)
recovery equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming ser-
vice. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant manu-
facturers.
