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 RH front tire (A).

|
6. |
Separate the front portion of the front
wheel guard (A) from the wheel house.

|
7. |
Remove the engine room RH side cover
(A).

|
8. |
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.
Tightening
torque :
18.6~27.4N.m (1.9~2.8 kgf.m, 13.7~20.2
lbf.ft)
|

|
9. |
Disconnect the compressor clutch connector
and then remove mounting bolts and the compressor (A).

|
1. |
Make sure of the length of compressor
mounting bolts, and then tighten it A→B→C→D order.
Tightening
torque :
19.6~33.3N.m (2.0~3.4kgf.m, 14.5~24.6
lbf.ft)
|

|
2. |
Install in the reverse order of
removal.
- |
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.) then the
result is the amount of oil you should drain from the
new compressor (through the suction
fitting). |
- |
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. |
- |
To avoid contamination, do not
return the oil to the container once dispensed, and
never mix it with other refrigerant
oils. |
- |
Immediately after using the oil,
replace the cap on the container and seal it to avoid
moisture
absorption. | | |
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.
A. |
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. |
C. |
Charge the system and test its
performance. |

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

|
2. |
Separate the front portion of the front
wheel guard (A) from the wheel house.

|
3. |
Remove the engine room RH side cover
(A).

|
4. |
Remove the center bolt (A) while holding the
disc & hub assembly with SST( 09977-3R000).
Tightening
torque :
10~15N.m (1.02~1.53kgf.m,
7.37~11lbf.ft)
|

|
5. |
Remove the disc & hub assembly (A) and
shim (gap washer) (B), taking care not to lose the
shims.

|
6. |
Loosen the drive belt.
(Refer to EM group - "Drive
Belt") |
7. |
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. | |

|
8. |
Remove the retainer ring (A) and then
remove the field coil (B) . Be careful not to damage the coil and
compressor.

|
9. |
Reassemble the compressor clutch in the
reverse order of disassembly.
- |
Clean the pulley and compressor
sliding surfaces with non-petroleum
solvent. |
- |
Install new retainer rings, and
make sure they are fully seated in the
groove. |
- |
Make sure that the pulley turns
smoothly after its
reassembled. | | | |
