Preliminary Information

Compressor Shaft Seal:

V5 Compressor Rear Head Details:

When replacing the shaft seal assembly, pressure relief valve or rear head mounted pressure switches, even if the compressor remains on the vehicle during the operation, it will be necessary to discharge the system of refrigerant.

Other than clutch repair procedures, the same holds true for any disassembly of the compressor.

A clean workbench covered with a sheet of clean paper, and a place (clean trays, etc.) for all parts being removed and replaced is important, as is the use of the proper. clean service tools.

NOTICE: 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 he 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.
