Removal

NOTE: Installation of a new receiver/drier desiccant bag is not required when repairing the A/C system, except when there is physical evidence of contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the receiver/drier desiccant bag. Damage to the receiver/drier desiccant bag includes physical damage to the receiver/drier desiccant bag or moisture contamination. Moisture contamination results only from a complete loss of refrigerant and equalization of the refrigerant system pressure with atmospheric pressure for a period longer than one hour. If even a slight amount of positive refrigerant pressure is present in the system before repairs are carried out, the receiver/drier desiccant bag should not be replaced.

1. Recover the refrigerant. REFER to Air Conditioning (AC) System Recovery, Evacuation, and Charging Air Conditioning (AC) System Recovery, Evacuation, and Charging.

2. Remove the receiver/drier plug.
