Rotate the compressor shaft to assist in draining the compressor.
This measurement will be used during installation of the replacement compressor.
Important: The refrigerant oil in the A/C system must be balanced during compressor replacement. Follow the balancing instructions provided with the compressor.
Compare the following refrigerant oil capacities:
• | The amount drained and recorded during compressor removal. |
• | The amount recommended for component replacement. Refer to Refrigerant System Capacities . |
