Installation Procedure
- Coat new O-rings with mineral base 525 viscosity refrigerant oil.
- Install the O-rings to the receiver/dryer inlet and outlet fittings.
- Install the receiver/dryer (5) to the condenser bracket. Secure the receiver/dryer with 1 screw.
- Install the receiver/dryer inlet and outlet fittings to the top of the receiver/dryer. Secure with the 2 bolts.
- Evacuate and recharge the air conditioning (A/C) system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .

Important: Add 10 mL (0.3 fl oz) of refrigerant oil to the refrigeration system when installing a new receiver/dryer.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 9.8 N·m (86.74 lb in).
