  Q: How to replace the A/C Accumulator and ensure proper installation in the refrigeration system on Chevrolet Prizm?

  A: The system requires 60 ml (2.0 fl oz) of refrigerant oil during accumulator replacement. Discharge all refrigerant from the system while recovering it for future use. The system should receive an application of 60ml (2.0floz) of refrigerant oil after removing any cruise control actuator motors to prevent system entry from media and dirt. Start removal by unlatching the suction hose from the accumulator before moving to detach the accumulator hose from the Evaporator . Finish by removing the accumulator bracket bolt. Do the following step when replacing your accumulator by sliding it upwards through the bracket aperture. New o-rings with 525 viscosity mineral oil applied next follow as installation begins with placing the accumulator into its bracket for bolt tightening to 13 n.m (10 lb ft). After securing the suction hose to the accumulator at 47 n.m (35 lb ft), attach the accumulator hose to the Evaporator and tighten it to 38 n.m (28 lb ft). Reinstall the cruise control actuator motor if necessary before evacuating and recharging the refrigeration system and testing for leaks using the a/c system operation.
