1. |
If the compressor is marginally operable, run
the engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a
few minutes, then shut the engine
off. |
2. |
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery. |
3. |
Recover the refrigerant with a
recovery/charging station. |
4. |
Loosen the drive belt.(Refer to EM group-Drive
belt) |
5. |
Remove the bolts, then disconnect the suction
line (A) and discharge line (B) from the compressor. Plug or cap the
lines immediately after disconnecting them to avoid moisture and
dust contamination.

|
6. |
Disconnect the compressor clutch connector and
then remove 3 mounting bolts and the compressor (A).

|
1. |
Make sure of the length of compressor mounting
bolts, and then tighten it A→B→C order.

Tightening
torque :
19.6~24.5 N.m(2.0~2.5 kgf.m , 14.5~18.1
Ib-ft)
| |
2. |
Install in the reverse order of removal, and
note these items.
A. |
If you're installing a new compressor,
drain all the refrigerant oil from the removed compressor, and
measure its volume, Subtract the volume of drained oil from
120cc(4.20 oz.) the result is the amount of oil you should
drain from the new compressor (through the suction
fitting). |
B. |
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. |
C. |
To avoid contamination, do not return
the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with
other refrigerant oils. |
D. |
Immediately after using the oil, replace
the cap on the container and seal it to avoid moisture
absorption. |
E. |
Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the
vehicle; it may damage the paint; if the refrigerant oil
contacts the paint, wash it off
immediately. |
F. |
Adjust the drive
belt. |
G. |
Charge the system and test its
performance.
| |
1. |
Check the plated parts of the disc & hub
assembly (A) for color changes, peeling or other damage. If there is
damage, replace the clutch set. |
2. |
Check the pulley (B) bearing play and drag by
rotating the pulley by hand. Replace the clutch set with a new one
if it is noisy or has excessive play/drag.

|
3. |
Check operation of the magnetic clutch.
Connect the compressor side terminals to the battery (+) terminal
and the ground battery (-) terminal to the compressor body. Check
the magnetic clutch operating noise to determine the
condition.

|
1. |
Remove the front left tire (A).

|
2. |
Remove the engine side cover (A).

|
3. |
Remove the center bolt (A) while holding the
disc & hub assembly with SST( 09977-29000).
Tightening
torque :
10~15N.m (1.02~1.53kgf.m,
7.37~11lb-ft)
|

|
4. |
Remove the disc & hub assembly (A) and
shim (gap washer) , taking care not to lose the shims.

|
5. |
Disconnect the retainer ring (A) and then
remove the pulley(B).
-
|
Be careful not to damage the
pulley (B) and compressor during
removal/installation. |
-
|
Once retainer ring (A) is removed,
replace it with a new
one. | |


|
6. |
Remove the retainer ring (B) and then remove
the field coil (C). Be careful not to damage the coil and
compressor.

|
7. |
Reassemble the compressor clutch in the
reverse order of disassembly, and note these items :
A. |
Clean the pulley and compressor sliding
surfaces with non-petroleum
solvent. |
B. |
Install new retainer rings, and make
sure they are fully seated in the
groove. |
C. |
Make sure that the pulley turns smoothly
after its
reassembled. | | |
