Tools Required

J 39400-A Halogen Leak Detector

1. Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .
2. Remove the intake air resonator. Refer to Intake Air Resonator Replacement in Engine Controls.
3. Remove the radiator. Refer to Radiator Replacement in Engine Cooling.



4. Remove the condenser tube block fitting bolt.
5. Remove the condenser tube from the condenser.



6. Remove the condenser.
7. Transfer the receiver/dehydrator and the brackets.

1. Insert the condenser guide pins into the rubber grommets in the frame to install the condenser.



2. Install the condenser tube to the condenser:

•	Use new O-rings.

•	Lubricate the O-rings with mineral oil, 525 viscosity.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

3. Install the condenser tube block fitting bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).

4. Install the radiator. Refer to Radiator Replacement in Engine Cooling.
5. Install the intake air resonator. Refer to Intake Air Resonator Replacement in Engine Controls.
6. Evacuate and recharge the A/C system. Refer to Refrigerant Recovery and Recharging .
7. Leak test the fittings of the component using J 39400-A .
