How to install the A/C Accumulator between the condenser and evaporator on the A/C evaporator tube on Buick Regal?

Before installing the A/C Accumulator which has ac p/n 15-1696 between condenser and Evaporator on the a/c Evaporator tube it is necessary to perform a leak test with the halogen leak detector (J 39400-A) on each fitting after completion. Start by extracting the refrigerant before removing the Evaporator tube from the motor vehicle to proceed. Use a tubing cutter to cut the Evaporator tube at 110 mm (4.3 in) distance from the condenser block fitting end while making sure metal shavings stay outside of the tube. Cut the tube again at 60 mm (2.4 in) while properly removing all burrs from the cut surfaces. When preparing to fit ferrules to the Evaporator tube remove the o-ring that was inside the A/C Accumulator. Fit one flare nut along with one ferrule to the Evaporator tube so the tapered end faces the flare nut before fully seating the A/C Accumulator to the tube by directing it towards the Evaporator with proper tightening to 15 n.m (11 lb ft). Seal the second half of the Evaporator tube by applying torque to both parts just like the first side. Reinstall the accumulator after the flare nuts are loosened while properly aligning the arrow marker towards the Evaporator and tightening both flare nuts to 15 n.m (11 lb ft). Installation of the Evaporator tube to the condenser tube must be done before you remove the air cleaner assembly and execute evacuation and recharging of the a/c system.
