REMOVAL
1. Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC-134a) to discharge the refrigerant.
2. Remove engine cover. Refer to Exploded View.
3. Remove air cleaner case (LH) and air duct (LH). Refer to Exploded View.





4. Remove mounting bolt (A) from high-pressure flexible hose bracket (1).
5. Disconnect one-touch joint between high-pressure flexible hose





(1) and condenser pipe assembly (2) with disconnector (A)
(SST: J-45815).

CAUTION:
Cap or wrap the joint of the A/C piping with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.





6. Remove mounting nut (A) from high-pressure flexible hose (1).

7. Remove high-pressure flexible hose.

INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
- Replace O-rings with new ones. Then apply compressor oil to them when installing.
- Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping straight in axial direction.
- Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
- After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection does not come loose.
- Check for leakages when recharging refrigerant.
