  Q: How to service and repair the A/C Accumulator on Toyota Solara?

  A:

  The service and repair process of an A/C accumulator requires refrigerant discharge from its refrigeration system first. The 2 liquid tubes which connect to the A/C accumulator should be disconnected by removing their 2 bolts combined with both tubes and promptly applying caps to exposed fittings to stop system moisture or dirt entry. First remove the A/C accumulator using the procedure of removing its holder and A/C accumulator and then disassembling the bolt from the A/C accumulator. To attach the A/C accumulator to its holder you should use a bolt while adding 20 cc (0.71 fl. oz.) ND-OIL 8 or an equivalent compressor oil if you replace the A/C accumulator. Two bolts should be used to secure the A/C accumulator onto the condenser. Before uniting the liquid tubes, apply ND-OIL 8 or equivalent compressor oil onto 2 new O-rings and install them properly before torquing the connecting 2 bolts to 5.4 Nm (55 kg.cm, 48 in.lb). After evacuating the refrigeration system of all the air follow the charging procedure with the specified 800 plus or minus 50 g (28.22 plus or minus 1.76 oz.) refrigerant amount. The evaluation for refrigerant leakage needs a gas leak detector followed by a joint torque check in the event of detected leakage.
