1. Recover the refrigerant from the system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .
2. Remove the radiator. Refer to Radiator Replacement in Engine Cooling.
3. Remove the compressor discharge hose assembly from the condenser. Refer to Compressor Hose Assembly Replacement .
4. Remove the evaporator tube from the condenser. Refer to Evaporator Tube Replacement .



5. Remove the insulator retainer bolts and the upper insulator retainers.
6. Remove the condenser.

1. Install the condenser.

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.

2. Install the upper insulator retainers and the insulator retainer bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 2.4 N·m (21 lb in).

3. Install the evaporator tube to the condenser.
4. Install the compressor discharge hose assembly to the condenser. Refer to Compressor Hose Assembly Replacement .
5. Install the radiator. Refer to Radiator Replacement in Engine Cooling.
