5. Remove mounting bolt (A) from condenser pipe assembly (1).




6. Disconnect one-touch joint between high-pressure flexible hose (1) and condenser pipe assembly (3) with disconnector (A) (SST: 9253089912).

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

7. Disconnect one-touch joints between high-pressure pipe 1 (2) and condenser pipe assembly with disconnector (A) (SST: 9253089908).

CAUTION: Cap or wrap the joint of the A/C piping 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 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.
