Condenser Assembly Removal and Installation
Precautions: General safety (00)
NOTICE:
Condenser and radiator fins can easily be bent during removal of the condenser assembly.
Remove the condenser assembly carefully not to damage the condenser and radiator fins. If any of them is bent, straighten it using a flat-bladed screwdriver or pliers.
Removal
1)Recover refrigerant from A/C system referring to “Recovery” in Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charge:Manual Type.
NOTE:
Measure the amount of removed compressor oil to determine how much compressor oil is required for replenishment.
2)Hoist vehicle.
3)Remove front bumper. 
4)Remove front bumper lower absorber (1).
5)For diesel model, remove intercooler.
6)Remove discharge hose bolt (1) and liquid pipe bolt (2).
7)Disconnect discharge hose (3) and liquid pipe (4) from condenser assembly (5).
8)Remove condenser bolts (1).
9)Remove upper shroud (2), and remove condenser assembly (3) to lower side.
