  Q: How to Remove and Install an Accumulator?

  A: Replacement accumulator units are highly effective at absorbing moisture and can quickly become saturated when exposed to the atmosphere. To minimize system exposure, it is important to have all necessary tools and supplies ready for quick reassembly during installation. REMOVAL: The accumulator is located between the evaporator outlet and the compressor suction port. Prior to removal, ensure that the system is discharged. Next, remove the mounting bolts of the cruise control servo and position it aside without disconnecting any components. Proceed to remove the low pressure cycling switch from the accumulator. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the accumulator, replacing the old O-rings with new ones and plugging the open fittings to prevent dirt and moisture entry. Finally, remove the bracket screw at the base of the accumulator and lift it from the engine compartment. INSTALLATION: The installation process is the reverse of removal. If a new accumulator is being installed, add one ounce of refrigerant oil to it before installation. Replace all O-rings with new parts. Once the installation is complete, take the vehicle to a shop that discharged it and have the system evacuated, recharged, and leak tested.
