Low-Pressure Hose
- Using the refrigerant recovery system, discharge refrigerant. Ref. to AIR CONDITIONER>REFRIGERANT RECOVERY PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .
- Remove the vacuum hose COMPL and vacuum pipe assembly. Ref. to BRAKE>BRAKE BOOSTER>REMOVAL>BRAKE VACUUM HOSE .
- Remove the hose pressure suction.
- Disconnect the pipe evaporator cooling from the hose pressure suction using the ST.
Preparation tool:
ST: DISCONNECT TOOL (73499SJ000)
- Open the disconnect tool, and set it to the pipe evaporator cooling while aligning the shape.NOTE: Spring force closes the cover automatically.
- While checking through the inspection hole (a) of the disconnect tool, press in the protrusion (b) into the engaging portion of the pipe evaporator cooling.
- While holding the condition in step 2, pull out the pipe evaporator cooling from the hose pressure suction in the direction of the arrow.
- Detach the disconnect tool, and remove the indicator ring (a).CAUTION:
- Do not damage the indicator ring remaining on the vehicle, because it will be necessary if the pipe evaporator cooling is reused.
- If the indicator ring has been lost or damaged, there is no way to confirm the secure engagement of parts. So replace the pipe evaporator cooling with a new part.
- Open the disconnect tool, and set it to the pipe evaporator cooling while aligning the shape.
- Remove the bolt and nut, and detach the hose pressure suction.CAUTION:
- Do not apply excessive force to the hose.
- Seal the engaging part of disconnected hose, compressor assembly, and expansion valve with a plug or vinyl tape to prevent foreign matter from entering.
- Disconnect the pipe evaporator cooling from the hose pressure suction using the ST.
