Preparation:
Disconnect the battery ground cable.
Discharge and recover refrigerant (Refer to "REFRIGERANT RECOVERY")

1. Radiator grille
2. Pressure switch connector
3. Refrigerant line
^ When removing the line connected part, the connecting part should immediately be plugged or capped to prevent foreign matter from being mixed into the line.
4. Bracket bolt
5. Receiver/drier
^ Loosen the bolt, then, using care not to touch or bend the refrigerant line, carefully pull out the receiver/drier.

INSTALLATION
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order, noting the following points:
1. If installing a new receiver/drier, be sure to add 30 cc (1.0 fl.oz.) of new compressor oil to a new one.
2. Put the receiver/drier in the bracket, and connect with the refrigerant line. Check that no excessive force is imposed on the line. Fasten the bracket bolt to the receiver/drier.
3. Tighten the line to the specified torque.
Torque: N.m (lb.in) = 6 (52)
4. 0-rings cannot be reused. Always replace with new ones.
5. Be sure to apply new compressor oil to the 0-rings when connecting refrigerant line.
