Compressor Clutch Shaft Seal: Installation

  1. Lubricate new shaft seal with refrigerant oil. DO NOT touch sealing surfaces. Using a 21-mm socket, press seal into front housing, and install snap ring. Ensure shaft seal "O" ring side is facing front housing (away from compressor). Install felt washer into felt holder. Using a 14-mm deep socket, install felt washer and felt holder.
  2. Lubricate front housing "O" ring with refrigerant oil. Install shaft seal protector on compressor shaft. Install new front housing "O" ring on compressor assembly.
  3. Install front housing on compressor assembly. Ensure dowel pins are aligned. Use care when guiding shaft seal protector through seal opening. Remove shaft seal protector.
  4. Install through-bolts and NEW brass washers. Using an INCH-lb. torque-wrench, check compressor shaft rotating torque. Rotating torque should be 45 INCH lbs. (5 N.m) or less. Install clutch coil and check clutch hub air gap. See CLUTCH ASSEMBLY .
  5. Using refrigerant oil, add same amount of oil to compressor as was drained from it. Install A/C compressor. Evacuate and charge system. Perform leak test.
