2002 Chevrolet Venture A/C Accumulator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the A/C Accumulator in an A/C system on 2002 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: The first step to replace the A/C Accumulator requires recovering all refrigerant from the a/c system. First remove the condenser then remove the upper and lower mounting bolts of the A/C Accumulator unit. When you finish working with the A/C Accumulator it should be discarded while removing the existing sealing washers. The exact quantity of pag oil must be added to the new A/C Accumulator at installation. The sealing surfaces of the a/c refrigerant line require a lint-free dry cloth for cleaning while flat washer type seals should not get lubricated during the process. Affix the A/C Accumulator to its place on the condenser after you connect new sealing washers. Put the lower mounting bolts into place while keeping tension at 6 n.m (53 lb in) and secure the upper bolts in the same way. First reinstall the condenser before proceeding with an a/c system evacuation that requires a recharge. The halogen leak detector (J 39400-A) should be used to check for leaks through component fittings during the leak test process.
