Start by dissembling the Radiator followed by recovering the refrigerant from the system. Untighten the receiver dryer before you remove it followed by the removal of condenser inlet hose bolt and inlet hose. You should first remove both the condenser outlet hose bolt and the outlet hose. Release the condenser from its mounting points on the Radiator before taking it out in its entirety. Follow the specifications in the refrigerant system capacities to add oil to the new condenser. Mount the new condenser to the Radiator following the transfer of important components from the original condenser unit. Usehand the condenser to its mounts on the Radiator before torquing the retaining bolts to 28 n.m (21 lb ft). Reattach the receiver dryer first and afterward reconnect the condenser inlet hose using its bolt which needs to be tightened to 20 n.m (15 lb ft).
