10. All Removed Parts - Install
1.
Install the parts in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
If you are installing a new A/C condenser, add the appropriate refrigerant oil for the A/C compressor which installed to the vehicle.
New O-rings should be used at each fitting. Prior to installation, apply a thin coat of the same refrigerant oil used in the A/C compressor. Be sure to use the correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle, because it may damage painted surfaces. If refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off with water immediately.
Be careful not to damage the radiator and A/C condenser fins when installing the A/C condenser.
Charge the system with the specified amount of R-134a refrigerant.
