• Q: How to remove the A/C Condenser on 2009 Toyota Prius?

  A: The first step to remove the HVAC condenser requires the discharge of refrigerant material from the refrigeration system. The next procedure requires removal of both front fender liner LH and the opposite front fender liner RH. Remove the front bumper cover and continue the following steps. You need to detach the No. 1 inverter bracket subsequent to other bracket removals. Begin by removing the bolt which enables disconnecting of the discharge hose from its connection to the condenser (with receiver) before extracting the O-ring from the discharge hose. The disjointed parts of the discharge hose and condenser require vinyl tape sealing at their openings to stop the entry of moisture along with foreign substances. Unbolt and displace the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe E from the condenser (with receiver) while also extracting the O-ring which resides in the pipe E. Use vinyl tape to protect all open hose and pipe ends after cutting them loose from their original connections. First detach the radiator support sub-assembly upper RH through bolt removal then proceed with taking down the radiator support sub-assembly upper LH following the same method. The procedure ends by unmounting angles from both sides and removing the two condenser bolts to extract the condenser assembly with receiver.
