Receiver Dryer: Service and Repair

RECEIVER/DRIER

REPLACEMENT

1. Remove the condenser, and then remove the drying agent after loosening the cap at the lower of receiver/driver.

2. Install in the reverse order of removal, and note these items :
- If you're installing a new receiver/drier, add refrigerant oil ND-OIL8.
- Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings for R-134a to avoid leakage.
- Be careful not to damage the radiator and condenser fins when installing the condenser.
- Be sure to install the lower mount cushions of condenser securely into the holes.
- Charge the system, and test its performance.
