If you are replacing the compressor, you must also replace the accumulator and the orifice tube. Have the air conditioning system discharged before proceeding. Loosen the right front wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and secure it on jackstands, and remove the right front wheel. Remove the right front fender splash shield. Remove the drivebelt. Disconnect the electrical connector from the compressor clutch field coil. Remove the compressor mounting bolts, then lower the compressor for access to the refrigerant line fittings if necessary. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the compressor and discard the O-rings. Remove the compressor. If a new compressor is being installed, follow the directions with the compressor regarding the draining of excess oil prior to installation. The clutch may have to be transferred from the original to the new compressor. Before reconnecting the inlet and outlet lines to the compressor, replace all manifold O-rings and lubricate them with refrigerant oil. Installation is otherwise the reverse of removal. Replace the orifice tube. Have the system evacuated, recharged, and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.
