• Q: How to overhaul an A/C Condenser on 2005 Toyota Camry?

  A: Refrigerant discharge from the refrigeration system begins by using Special Service Tool: 07110-58060 (07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080). Dismantle cooler refrigerant discharge hose No.1 from the cooler condenser assembly after removing its O-ring by applying vinyl tape to seal all openings since it will prevent moisture and foreign material from entering. The refrigerant liquid pipe A (with its O-ring removed) should be disconnected the same way through pipe sealing with vinyl tape. Remove the air cleaner inlet assembly followed by the radiator support upper and then remove the cooler condenser assembly after undoing its 2 supporting nuts. Take out the cap and filter from the cooler dryer through the use of a 10 mm hexagon wrench before removing the 2 O-rings and the dryer itself using needle nose pliers which require Special Service Tool: 99999-60018. Please install the cooler dryer through needle nose plier usage while adding two fresh O-rings on the cap before applying compressor oil (ND-OIL 8 or equivalent) on all O-ring contact points along with a torque of 12 N.m (125 kgf.cm, 9 ft.lbf) through Special Service Tool: 99999-60018 to secure the cap to the cooler condenser assembly. Reinstall the cooler condenser assembly through tightening the nuts to 9.8 N.m but maintain a torque of 100 kgf.cm along with 85 in.lbf when securing the radiator support upper. The installation of cooler refrigerant liquid pipe A requires artists to remove vinyl tape then apply compressor oil on new O-ring and pipe joint before installing the O-ring to connect it with the cooler condenser assembly through a bolt torqued to 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 47 in.lbf). When connecting the second cooler discharge hose number one users need to follow the same steps by using compressor oil with new O-rings and torquing the bolt to 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 47 in.lbf). Charge the refrigerant through Special Service Tool: 07110-58060 (07117-58060, 07117-58070, 07117-58080, 07117-58090, 07117-78050, 07117-88060, 07117-88070, 07117-88080) with 550 plus or minus 50 g (19.37 plus or minus 1.76 oz.) refrigerator amount before engine warming and leakage testing.
