Compressor Removal

REMOVAL

1. If the compressor is marginally operable, run the engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioning work for a few minutes, then shut the engine off.
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/charging station (Refer to page HA-9).
4. Loosen the drive belt (Refer to the EM-Timing).




5. Remove the bolts, then disconnect the suction line (A) and discharge line (B) from the compressor. Plug (C) or cap the lines immediately after disconnecting them to avoid moisture and dust contamination.




6. Disconnect the compressor clutch connector (A), then remove the mounting bolts and the compressor (B).
