Installation Notes:
• Lubricate new rubber O-ring seals with clean refrigerant oil and install them and new gaskets onto the refriger-
ant line fittings.
• Use only the specified O-rings as they are made of a special material for the R-134a system.
• Use only refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
• Recharge the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating and Air Condition-
ing).
Accumulator
Description
The accumulator is connected directly to the evaporator outlet and stores excess liquid refrigerant. Accumulators are
used on systems that use an orifice tube to meter refrigerants into the evaporator.
Operation
The primary function of the accumulator is to isolate the compressor from any damaging liquid refrigerant. The accu-
mulator removes debris and moisture from the air conditioning system.
Removal & Installation
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Evacuate the A/C system (See A/C System Evacuation and Recharge in Section 13 Heating and Air Condition-
ing).
3. Remove the retaining nut (1) on the accumulator
and remove the A/C pressure lines.
NOTE: After removing the A/C lines, plug the A/C
lines to prevent any debris from entering the A/C
system.
4. Remove and discard the O-ring seals and gaskets.
