Removal

Remove any components until the system has been discharged. Air conditioning refrigerant may only be discharged by a dealer service department or an automotive air conditioning specialist. Always wear eye protection when disconnecting air conditioning system fittings even after the system has been discharged.

1 Have the refrigerant discharged and recovered by a Toyota dealer or automotive air conditioning specialist.

2 Remove the drivebelt from the compressor (see Chapter 1).

3 Detach the wiring connector and disconnect the refrigerant pipes, then cap the open fittings to prevent entry of moisture (see illustration). Discard the pipe O-ring seals, new ones must befitted.

4 Unbolt the compressor and lift it from the vehicle.

5 If a new or rebuilt compressor is being installed, follow the directions supplied with the compressor regarding the proper level of oil prior to refitting.

6 Refitting is the reverse of removal. Renew any O-rings with new ones specifically made for the type of refrigerant in your system and lubricate them with refrigerant oil, also designed specifically for your system.

7 Have the system evacuated, recharged and leak-tested by the workshop that discharged it.
