- Remove the cooler hose (LO) installation nut, and then remove the cooler hose (LO) bracket from the vehicle stud bolt. (Scheme 53): Identifying Cooler Hose (LO) Nut And Bracket CAUTION: If moisture or foreign material enters the refrigeration cycle, cooling ability will be lowered and abnormal noise or other malfunction could occur. Always plug open fittings immediately after removing any refrigeration cycle parts.
- Using the SSTs (49 B061 014, 49 G061 001) disconnect the cooler pipe and cooler hose from the A/C unit while not allowing the remaining compressor oil in the A/C compressor and pipes to spill. (See «REFRIGERANT LINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-517465-S27124117462012121200000).) (Scheme 54): Cooler Pipe And Cooler Hose At A/C Unit
