How to service and repair the A/C Accumulator on Toyota Tacoma?

Before servicing the A/C accumulator technicians must begin with refrigerant discharge from the system then evacuate the air while charging it with 600 + 50 g (21.16 + 1.76 oz.) refrigerant followed by leak inspection. Disconnection of the liquid tube between the A/C accumulator and cooling unit should begin by removing its bolt while ensuring it reaches 6.0 N.m (60 kgf.cm, 52 in.lbf) torque level then sealing the open fittings with caps to avoid contamination from moisture or dirt. The procedure begins by uninstalling the liquid tube between A/C accumulator and condenser through nut loosening at 14 N.m (140 kgf.cm, 10 ft.lbf) to disconnect it before removing both tubes at 6.0 N.m (60 kgf.cm, 52 in.lbf). The open fittings must be capped during this process. Three new O-rings must receive compressor oil lubrication before their installation process. To continue the process you must detach the A/C accumulator from its holder through bolt removal and lifting it upward. When replacing the A/C accumulator it requires 20 cc (0.71 fl.oz.) of ND-OIL 8 or equivalent compressor oil to be added inside. The set up process follows the exact opposite sequence of the disassembly procedures.
