How do I properly remove and install the A/C Accumulator?

To remove the air conditioning system, start by having it recovered. Then, remove the front bumper cover. Next, at the lower left side of the condenser, remove the cap covering the snap-ring and A/C Accumulator plug. Lightly tap upwards on the A/C Accumulator plug and remove the snap-ring. After that, remove the A/C Accumulator plug using a 5mm screw if needed, and remove the A/C Accumulator. For installation, apply a coat of refrigerant oil to the A/C Accumulator plug before installing and add 0.3 oz (10 ml) of fresh R-134a refrigerant oil. Finally, have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested.
