See following pages for removal and installation of each component. After replacement or repaired component installed, connect lines as directed below.

In addition to checking and adjusting the compressor oil level (see Compressor Oil Check), certain component replacement requires additional refrigeration oil. Add specified amounts of oil directly to the component prior to installation.

Application		Amount
With G.M. Compressor
	Evaporator	3 oz.
	Condenser	1 oz.
	Accumulator	1 oz.
With Air-Temp or Sankyo Compressors
	Evaporator	2 oz.
	Condenser	1 oz.
	Receiver-Drier	1 oz.

THERMAL LIMITER

NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Low Refrigerant Charge Protection System (Superheat Switch and Thermal Limiter), if compressor operation is required before full system refrigerant charge is obtained, disconnect the thermal limiter and connect a jumper wire between terminals "B" and "C" of the limiter. When system adjustments and repairs are complete, and full system charge is obtained, reconnect thermal limiter to its original condition. This is required in orders to prevent thermal limiter from sensing the low refrigerant and stopping system operation.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.

• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.

• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.

• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.

• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
