• Q: How to replace the A/C Accumulator in an air conditioning system on 2005 Chevrolet Uplander?

  A: Begin gathering a replacement A/C Accumulator by immediately using caps or tapes to cover the open air conditioning (A/C) lines for system prevention from contamination. First detach the A/C Condenser and apply caps or tape to secure the open a/c lines. Start the A/C Accumulator replacement by removing upper bracket screw of the accumulator followed by lower bolts and proceeding to remove the A/C Accumulator itself. Proceed to cap or tape the open condenser lower ends. Follow the specified instructions to introduce pag oil for new a/c accumulators before installation. You must start by removing the caps or tape from the condenser lower openings before adding new lower A/C Accumulator sealing washers and A/C Accumulator units. Fasten the A/C Accumulator by tightening both lower bolts to 16 n.m (12 lb ft) followed by installation and torqueing of the upper bracket screw to 16 n.m (12 lb ft). The next step involves taking away the caps or tape from open a/c lines before reinstalling the A/C Condenser.
