HIGH-PRESSURE PIPE 1

1.Use a refrigerant collecting equipment (for HFC‐134a) to discharge the refrigerant.

2.Remove air cleaner case (bank 2) and air duct (bank 2). Refer to Exploded View.

3.Remove radiator cover. Refer to Exploded View.

4.Remove clip (A) and mounting bolt (B), and then remove air guide (1).

5.Disconnect one-touch joint between high‐pressure pipe 1 (2) and condenser (3) with disconnector (C) (SST: 9253089908).
■ CAUTION ■
Cap or wrap the joint of the cooler piping with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.

6.Disconnect one-touch joint between high‐pressure pipe 1 (1) and high‐pressure pipe 2 with disconnector (A) (SST: 9253089908).


■ CAUTION ■
Cap or wrap the joint of the cooler piping with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.

7.Remove high‐pressure pipe 1 from vehicle clip (B), and then remove high‐pressure pipe 1.

Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.

■ CAUTION ■

• Replace O‐rings with new ones. Then apply compressor oil to them when installing.
  
• Female‐side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male‐side piping straight in axial direction.
  
• Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
  
• After piping connection is completed, pull male‐side piping by hand to make sure that connection does not come loose.
  
• Check for leakages when recharging refrigerant.
