• Q: How to remove the A/C Condenser on 2008 Toyota Prius?

  A: The first procedure for removing the HVAC condenser consists of draining refrigerant from the refrigeration system. Secondly you should dispose of the front fender liner LH and front fender liner RH. You should start by removing the front bumper cover. The next operation requires you to discard the No. 1 inverter bracket. The HVAC system demands that users detach the discharge hose sub-assembly by taking out the bolt then separating the discharge hose from the condenser (with receiver) followed by removing its O-ring from the discharge hose. The mouth of the disconnected discharge hose and condenser require vinyl tape application to block outside moisture and foreign objects. Use a vinyl tape to seal the disconnected openings on the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe E before its removal from the condenser (with receiver). Begin the removal process by starting with the radiator support sub-assembly upper RH by unbolt its four screws then continue with the radiator support sub-assembly upper LH by following the same procedure. Finish the operation by unscrewing the 2 angles and removing the 2 bolts that secure the condenser with attached receiver.
