• Q: How to remove the A/C Condenser on 2008 Toyota RAV4?

  A: A person must first discharge the refrigerant from the refrigeration system before removing the HVAC condenser. After disconnecting the negative battery cable let it sit for at least 90 seconds before proceeding to deter Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. The front bumper cover should be removed from the vehicle. Disconnect the highway cooling discharge line by taking off the condenser cooler bolt and hose and extract the O-ring from the hose. Use vinyl tape to close off the disconnected systems so air and moistures remain outside. Proceed with disconnecting the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe by first removing its bolt and then the pipe from the cooler condenser and subsequently removing its O-ring before applying vinyl tape to seal all openings. Take off the radiator support upper bracket by unfastening its 2 bolts along with its 2 brackets. Proceed to remove the No. 2 fan shroud through the process of unscrewing its two attached bolts. Next follow the protocol to eliminate the cooler condenser assembly. A 14 mm socket hexagon wrench will be needed for cap removal from the modulator then you should remove the O-ring from the cap while pliers are required to extract the cooler dryer.
