low-pressure pipe 2 (2) with disconnector (SST: 9253089916)
(A).
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of low-pressure pipe 1 and low-pres-
sure pipe 2 with suitable material such as vinyl tape to
avoid the entry of air.
10. Remove mounting nut (A) from low-pressure flexible hose (1).
(Compressor side)
CAUTION:

INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Replace O-rings of low-pressure flexible hose and low-pressure pipe 2 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.
Removal and Installation of High-pressure Flexible HoseNJS0001Z
REMOVAL
1. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
2. Remove tower bar. Refer to FSU-20, "
TOWER BAR" .
3. Remove engine cover (1), (2). Refer to EM-17, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
4. Remove air cleaner case (LH) and air duct (LH). Refer to EM-15, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
5. Remove mounting bolt (A) from high-pressure flexible hose
bracket (1).
6. Disconnect one-touch joint between high-pressure flexible hose
(1) and condenser with disconnector (SST: 9253089912) (A).
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of high-pressure flexible hose and
condenser with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid
the entry of air.
7. Remove mounting nut (A) from high-pressure flexible hose (1),
and then remove high-pressure flexible hose.
CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of high-pressure flexible hose and
compressor with suitable material such as vinyl tape to
avoid the entry of air.Low-pressure flexible hose bracket mounting bolt

INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Make sure liquid tank bracket is securely installed at protru-
sion of condenser.
Make sure liquid tank bracket does not move to a position
below center of liquid tank.
Replace O-rings of condenser pipe with new ones, and then
apply compressor oil to it when installing it.
When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Removal and Installation of CondenserNJS00023
REMOVAL
1. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
2. Drain engine coolant. Refer to CO-10, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
3. Remove cover for condenser mounting bolt.
4. Remove tower bar. Refer to FSU-20, "
TOWER BAR" .
5. Remove engine cover (1), (2). Refer to EM-17, "
