• Q: What Tools Are Required to Replace the A/C Condenser on 2010 Chevrolet Colorado?

  A: The following equipment set is necessary for replacing an air conditioning condenser: halogen leak detector (J 39400-A). Start by taking off the Radiator followed by refrigerant recovery steps. Start by taking out the receiver dryer then disassemble the condenser inlet hose bolt and inlet hose. Start by removing the bolt from the condenser outlet hose followed by removing the outlet hose. Use a wrench to remove the condenser from its mounts which hold it to the Radiator before the complete extraction. For new condenser installation follow the refrigerant system specifications to determine the appropriate amount of refrigerant oil addition. First attach the condenser to the Radiator before moving essential components from the removed condenser system. Apply 28 nm (21 lb ft) of torque to condenser retaining bolts before you secure the condenser to the mounts on the Radiator. Place the receiver dryer in position before installing the condenser inlet hose which needs a bolt with a torque value of 20 nm (15 lb ft). When installing the condenser outlet hose connecting hardware secure it using a torque setting of 20 nm (15 lb ft). The Radiator goes back into position followed by an evacuation and recharge of the a/c system before a halogen leak detector (J 39400-A) checks for any fitting leaks.
