  A: To remove the air condition condenser, first remove the refrigerant. In the end, take away the front compartment sight shield, upper tie bar, and hood latch support. Remove the discharge and the suction hoses from the condenser by using a nut breaker to remove the nuts on the hoses and dispose of the sealing washers. Next, remove them condenser lines to Radiator mounting bolt, and on the case engine oil cooler lines if they may equipped. Remove the condenser mounting bolts and replace the condenser out from the Radiator retainer, and the vehicle. In the case of installing a new condenser, add refrigerant oil to it. Prepare the condenser to be installed into the Radiator retainer and to fasten it with mounting bolts tightening to 9 nm (80 lb in). Mount the old condenser onto the condenser mounting bracket and mount the condenser line to Radiator mounting bolt and bolt it 6 nm (53 lb in). Reconnect the engine oil cooed lines to the Radiator and make sure it is clicked into place and slide the plastic cap over the quick connect junction. Fitting new sealing washers, attach the suction hose and tighten the nut to 16 nm (12 lb ft). Connect the liquid and close its nut to 20 nm (15 lb ft). Replace the hood latch bracket and upper tie bar. Then recharge the a/c system and conduct leak test on fittings as per the j 39400-a. Finally, replace the front compartment sight shield.
