2) Recover refrigerant from A/C system by referring to
"RECOVERY" in this section.
NOTE:
The amount of removed compressor oil must be mea-
sured for replenishing compressor oil.
3) Remove attaching bolt (1).
4) Remove suction hose (2) and receiver/dryer outlet pipe (3)
from expansion valve (4).
5) Remove expansion valve (4).
INSTALLATION

following instructions.
• Replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compressor
suction side by referring to "REPLENISHING COMPRES-
SOR OIL" in this section.
• Evacuate and charge refrigerant by referring to "EVACUAT-
ING" and "CHARGING" in this section.
INSPECTION
