  NOTE:  Plug the opening to keep moisture and foreign material from entering the system, and the A/C compressor oil from running out.

• 4. All Removed Parts - Install the parts in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
  • If the A/C compressor relief valve released refrigerant to the atmosphere, determine and correct the cause of the excessive system pressure, then replace the relief valve.
  • Clean the mating surfaces.
  • New O-rings should be used at each fitting. Prior to installation, apply a thin coat of the same refrigerant oil used in the A/C compressor . Be sure to use the correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
  • Charge the system with the specified amount of R-134a refrigerant .
