SEALING WASHER REPLACEMENT

Removal Procedure





1. Remove the seal washer from the A/C refrigerant component.
2. Inspect the seal washer for any signs of damage.
3. Inspect the A/C refrigerant components for damage or burrs. Repair if necessary.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT reuse sealing washer.

4. Discard the sealing washer.

Installation Procedure

IMPORTANT: Flat washer type seals do not require lubrication.





1. Inspect the new seal washer for any signs of cracks, cuts, or damage.
Do not use a damaged seal washer.
2. Using a lint-tree clean, dry cloth, clean the sealing surfaces of the A/C refrigerant components.
3. Carefully install the new seal washer onto the A/C refrigerant component.
4. The washer must completely bottom against the surface of the fitting.

IMPORTANT: After tightening the A/C components, there should be a slight sealing washer gap of approximately 1.2 mm (3/64 in) between the A/C line and the A/C component.

5. Assemble the remaining A/C refrigerant components. Refer to the appropriate repair procedure.
