Acura 80110-ST7-A21 Ac Condenser

Have the refrigerant discharged by a dealership service department or air conditioning repair facility. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. If the radio in your vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft system, make sure you have the correct activation code before disconnecting the battery. On Civic models, disconnect the condenser fan electrical connector from the fan, then detach the fan wiring harness and the AC refrigerant line support bracket from the condenser fan shroud. On CR-V models remove the front radiator grille. On Integra and CR-V models, remove the coolant reservoir and position it aside. Also remove the radiator upper mounting brackets and the refrigerant line support bracket from the radiator support. On all models, disconnect the condenser hose and discharge line from the condenser. Remove the condenser upper mounting bolts and or brackets. On Integra and CR-V models, there are two bolts at the top which secure the condenser to the radiator support, while on Civic models there is a bracket with two rubber mounts that secures the condenser to the radiator support. Lift the condenser from the vehicle. On Integra and CR-V models, it will be necessary to tilt the top of the radiator back to provide clearance. On Civic models the condenser is removed with the condenser fan. Be careful not to damage the condenser fins or the radiator when removing or installing the condenser. Installation is the reverse of removal. Always replace all O-rings with new ones and lightly lubricate them with refrigerant oil before assembly. Have the system evacuated, charged and leak tested by a dealer service department or air conditioning repair facility. If a new condenser was installed, add one-ounce of refrigerant oil.
