INSTALLATION
NOTE: Be certain to add refrigerant oil if the rear
receiver/drier is being replaced. The refrigerant oil
must be drained from the old receiver/drier and
measured to determine the amount of refrigerant oil
to add to the new receiver/drier. Use only refriger-
ant oil of the type recommended for the rear A/C
compressor in the vehicle.
(1) If the rear receiver /dr ier is being replaced,
insta ll th e cor rect amount an d type of refrigerant oil
into the new rear receiver /dr ier. Dra in the old receiv-
er/drier and mea su re the refr igerant oil. Fill the new
receiver/drier with th e same amou nt of new refr iger-
ant oil t hat wa s drained out of th e old r eceiver/drier.
NOTE: The rear receiver/drier is labeled with a
direction-of-flow arrow to indicate refrigerant flow
through the receiver/drier. Make sure to properly
install the rear receiver/drier in the correct direc-
tion.
(2) Position the r ear receiver/drier to the rea r A/C
condenser housing an d inst all the r etainin g bracket
and bolt. Tighten the bolt to 25 N·m (18 ft. lbs.).
(3) Remove the ta pe or plu gs from t he rear liquid
lin e fitt ing and reservoir and r eceiver/drier ports.
(4) Lubricate a n ew O-ring sea l wit h clea n refr ig-
eran t oil a nd install it onto t he rear liquid line fit-
ting. Use only the specified O-ring seal as it is made
of a special m ater ial for th e R-134a system . Use on ly
