2007 Cadillac XLR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the A/C Hose assembly in an A/C system on 2007 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The first step for compressor hose assembly replacement requires retrieving refrigerant using the halogen leak detector (J 39400-A). The removal procedure includes taking down the radiator support while observing the A/C Compressor hose assembly's location between condenser and compressor points before covering open a/c components to stop contamination. Use tooling to extract the A/C Compressor hose assembly bolt from the condenser fitting until you can disconnect the hose assembly while throwing away its washer. After sealing the a/c condenser filtering port with caps or tape you must displace the a/c tube connector from both the evaporator outlet tube as well as the A/C Compressor hose assembly. The evaporator outlet tube must be disconnected from the A/C Compressor hose assembly and then sealed with caps or tape. Sort the right front tire and wheel assembly to reach the A/C Compressor hose assembly retaining nut. Taape off or cap the A/C Compressor while you remove the A/C Compressor hose assembly from its position. Discard the washer seals along with the hose assembly connection to the A/C Compressor. First detach the Power Steering Pump then lower your vehicle while removing the A/C Compressor hose assembly . Rephrase the following sentence. For installation, reinstall the Power Steering Pump while placing the A/C Compressor hose assembly back into the vehicle. After lifting the vehicle again support it while removing tape or cover from the A/C Compressor and adding new sealing washers to the compressor hose assembly. Follow the fastener notice before you connect the A/C Compressor hose assembly to the A/C Compressor. Finally tighten the A/C Compressor hose assembly to A/C Compressor retaining nut to 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Lower the vehicle before removing the tape or cap from the evaporator outlet tube . Attach new o-rings to the evaporator outlet tube and combine it with the A/C Compressor hose assembly. Position the a/c tube connector onto the evaporator outlet tube as well as A/C Compressor hose assembly before taking off the cap or tape from the a/c condenser fitting. Place the compressor hose sealing washer onto the fitting then install both components to the condenser while securing the bolt at 16 n.m (12 lb ft). The last steps include reinstalling the radiator support before recharging the a/c system then testing all handle ports with the halogen leak detector (J 39400-A).
