J 39400-A Halogen Leak Detector
Removal Procedure
- Recover the refrigerant. Refer to
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging
.
- Remove the compressor discharge hose nut (1)
from the condenser (4).
- Remove the compressor discharge hose (2) from the condenser (4).
- Remove the evaporator tube nut (5) from the
condenser (3).
- Remove the evaporator tube (4) from the condenser (3).
- Remove the radiator. Refer to
Radiator Replacement
in Engine Cooling.
- Remove the retaining screws from the condenser.
- Remove the condenser from the radiator.
Installation Procedure
Important: If replacing the condenser, add the refrigerant oil to the condenser. Refer
to
Refrigerant System Capacities
for the capacity information.
- Install the condenser to the radiator.
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.
- Install the retaining screws to the condenser.
Tighten
Tighten the screws to 5 N·m (44 lb in).
- Install the radiator. Refer to
Radiator Replacement
in Engine Cooling.
- Connect the evaporator tube (4) to the condenser (3).
- Install the retaining nut to the evaporator tube (4) at the condenser
(3).
Tighten
Tighten the nut to 28 N·m (21 lb ft).
- Connect the compressor discharge hose (2) to
the condenser (4).
- Install the retaining nut (1) to the compressor discharge hose (2) at
the condenser (4).
Tighten
Tighten the nut to 28 N·m (21 lb ft).
- Evacuate and recharge the A/C system. Refer to
Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging
.
- Leak test the fittings of the components using the J 39400-A
.
