Air Conditioning Line (Peanut) Fitting


Disconnect

1. NOTICE: Support the female fitting with a wrench to prevent the tubes from twisting.

Remove the nut and separate the 2 halves of the peanut fitting.





2. NOTICE: Do not use metal tools to remove the O-ring seal. They can cause axial scratches across the O-ring seal groove, resulting in refrigerant leaks.

Remove the O-ring seal with a non-metallic tool.






Connect

1. Clean all dirt or foreign material from the fittings.

2. NOTICE: Use only the new O-ring seals. The use of any O-ring seals other than those specified in the Ford Master Parts Catalog may result in intermittent leakage during vehicle operation.

Install the O-ring seal.





3. NOTE: When correctly assembled, the male and female fittings should be flush.

Assemble the male and female fittings together.
