	Remove/install
	Risk of explosion caused by welding or soldering work on closed air conditioning system. Risk of poisoning caused by inhaling overheated refrigerant vapors. Risk of injury to skin and eyes caused by contact with liquid refrigerants.	Never perform welding work on or near a closed air conditioning system. No smoking or open flames. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Work only in well ventilated areas. Carry out repair work on the air conditioning system circuit only after the system has been emptied.	AS83.00-Z-0001-01A

1	Remove refrigerant line (13) between evaporator and condenser		AR83.30-P-7812MCU
2	Disconnect electrical connector from refrigerant pressure sensor (B12).
3	Remove supports and secure radiator unit (14) against falling down using suitable cable ties	Mount	Figure
	Risk of death caused by vehicle slipping or toppling off of the lifting platform.	Align vehicle between columns of vehicle lift and position four support plates at vehicle lift support points specified by vehicle manufacturer.	AS00.00-Z-0010-01A
4	Raise vehicle with vehicle lift
5	Remove underfloor panels	Rechargeable drill/screwdriver
6	Remove front bulkhead (15)	The front bulkhead (15) is bolted on with two nuts.
7	Remove diagonal struts	In model 451.4	AR61.10-P-5138MCU
8	Remove screws/bolts (10) and remove carrier (9)	In model 451.4
			*BA61.25-P-1003-01B
9	Remove bulkhead wall	In model 451.4	AR61.25-P-6600MCU
10	Unclip refrigerant lines (1, 2) from bracket (5)	Make sure that refrigerant lines (1, 2) are a minimum distance of 5 mm from fuel tank or other components. Otherwise noises and damage due to impacts or chafing may occur.
11	Unclip refrigerant lines (1, 2) from bracket (16) and remove bracket (16)	On vehicles in which the bracket (16) is still installed. The bracket (16) may no longer be installed.
12	Open quick-release coupling (11) of refrigerant line (2) and remove seal ring of refrigerant line (2)	Seal refrigerant line (2) and refrigerant line of refrigerant compressor with suitable stop plugs. Otherwise penetrating dirt and moisture damage components that are connected to the refrigerant circuit.
		Cutting tool set Replace the sealing ring at the refrigerant line (2) and coat with compressor fluid when inserting.	Figure

13	Support fuel tank (8) with a transmission jack and a removal fixture	Removal fixture Transmission jack	Figure
14	Remove bolts (7)		*BA47.10-P-1001-01F
15	Carefully lower fuel tank (8) as far as possible	When lowering the fuel tank (8), ensure that filler neck of fuel tank (8) is not damaged. Otherwise fuel tank (8) must be replaced.
16	Unclip brake line (6) from brackets (3, 4)
17	Unclip wiring harness bracket (12) on refrigerant line (1)
18	Lead out refrigerant line (2) between front axle carrier and body and remove	Assistant needed to hold radiator unit (14).
19	Remove filter dryer	Always replace the filter drier after opening the refrigerant circuit.	AR83.30-P-6525MCC
20	Install in the reverse order
