- Slowly discharge system using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Disconnect refrigerant hoses at compressor. Remove compressor mounting bolts, and remove compressor.
- Remove suction port on top of compressor, and drain oil. Add proper amount of refrigerant oil to compressor (total system capacity minus amount retained in components that have not been replaced). See C-171 COMPONENT REFRIGERANT OIL CAPACITIES table below.
- Install compressor. Evacuate and recharge A/C system. Perform leak test.
