Removal and Installation of High-pressure Pipe 1 and 2 (Engine Compartment)

REMOVAL
1. Remove low-pressure pipe 1. Refer to "Removal and Installation of Low-pressure Pipe 1 (Engine Compartment)".
2. Remove high-pressure flexible hose and low-pressure flexible hose.




3. Remove high-pressure pipe 1 and 2 from clips.




4. Disconnect one-touch joint between condenser and high-pressure pipe 1.
a. Set a disconnector (SST: 9253089908) on A/C piping.
b. Slide a disconnector upward until it clicks.
c. Slide A/C piping upward and disconnect it.

CAUTION: Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.

b. Slide a disconnector toward vehicle rear until it clicks.
c. Slide A/C piping toward vehicle rear and disconnect it.

CAUTION: Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.

6. Remove high-pressure pipe 1.




7. Disconnect one-touch joint between high-pressure pipe 2 and 3.
a. Set a disconnector (SST: 9253089908) on A/C piping.
b. Slide a disconnector toward vehicle front until it clicks.
c. Slide A/C piping toward vehicle front and disconnect it.

8. Remove high-pressure pipe 2.

CAUTION: Cap or wrap the joint of the pipe with suitable material such as vinyl tape to avoid the entry of air.

INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
- Replace O-rings of high-pressure pipe with new ones, and then apply compressor oil to it when installing it.
- 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.
- When recharging refrigerant, check for leaks.
