First detach the inlet and outlet connections of the accumulator before removing its mounting bracket bolts to extract the accumulator device from its position. Then remove the insulator cover from the accumulator. Begin your installation process with the accumulator by setting the insulator cover into place before securing the accumulator onto its mounting bracket. The installer needs to tighten the accumulator retention bolts to 4 n.m force while delivering 35 lb in torque. After installing the new dual o-rings you should connect the refrigerant outlet line to the accumulator before tightening the dual o-ring fitting at the accumulator to 24 n.m (18 lb ft). Purge the accumulator by connecting the refrigerant inlet lines before applying 24 n.m (18 lb ft) of torque to the dual o-ring fittings on theaccumulator. To finish correct the system's refrigerant levels and inspect the accumulator's fittings with the halogen leak detector (J 39400-A).

How to install the A/C Accumulator on Cadillac Eldorado?

The installation process of the A/C Accumulator requires the necessary tools which include a halogen leak detector (J 39400-A). You should install the accumulator ac p/n 15-1697 into the condenser tube which runs between condenser and Evaporator to prevent flushing requirements. Pivot to 60 mm (2.36 in) from the high side temperature sensor before marking and then proceed to 50.8 mm (1.99 in) beyond this initial spot for another mark. A tubing cutter should be used to cut the marked condenser tube section while maintaining metal burr-free tube edges. Install each cut end of the condenser tube with nuts and ferrules where the small ferrule opening faces the interior of the nut. Position the flow arrow of the accumulator towards the Evaporator before tightening nuts to 15 n.m (11 lb ft). You need to remove the nuts from the accumulator before applying 525 viscosity refrigerant oil to the o-rings. Install the prepared o-rings onto the Evaporator tube. The accumulator requires nuts that should be tightened until reaching 15 n.m (11 lb ft). The last step involves charging then using halogen leak detector (J 39400-A) for a leak examination of the accumulator mounting.
