If replacing compressor components in the vehicle, the refrigerant will need to be discharged from the A/C system. Refer to "Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling."

When servicing compressor components a clean work area is required. Place parts in clean trays and lay a clean sheet of paper on a clean workbench when working on the compressor.

NOTE: Any attempt to use makeshift or inadequate service tools or equipment may result in damage and/or improper compressor operation.

All parts required for servicing the internal compressor are protected by a preservative process and packaged in a manner which will eliminate the necessity of cleaning, washing or flushing of the parts. The parts can be used in the internal assembly just as they are removed from the service package. Seals and protective packaging should be left intact until just prior to installation.

If the compressor rear head, front head or cylinder and shaft assembly is to be serviced or replaced, the oil in the compressor must be drained, measured, recorded and replaced.
