How to Remove and Install a A/C Accumulator in AC System?

To remove the refrigerant, start by discharging and recovering it. Then, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Next, remove the left headlight assembly. After that, remove the A/C accumulator nuts from the condenser and refrigerant lines, and seal all open ports to prevent contamination. Finally, remove the mounting bolt and lift out the A/C accumulator. For installation, follow the reverse steps of removal. Make sure to install new seals onto the A/C accumulator fittings and apply a thin layer of refrigerant oil to the seals before installing them. If a new A/C accumulator is being installed, add 2 ounces of fresh refrigerant oil. Reconnect the battery and then have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested.
