b. Remove the O-ring from the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe E.

NOTE: Seal the openings of the disconnected parts of the cooler unit refrigerant liquid pipe E and the condenser using vinyl tape to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering them.

8. REMOVE RADIATOR SUPPORT SUB-ASSEMBLY UPPER RH

a. Remove the 4 bolts and radiator support upper.

9. REMOVE RADIATOR SUPPORT SUB-ASSEMBLY UPPER LH

a. Remove the 4 bolts and radiator support upper.

10. REMOVE CONDENSER ASSEMBLY WITH RECEIVER

a. Remove the 2 angles.

b. Remove the 2 bolts and condenser (with receiver).

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL CONDENSER ASSEMBLY WITH RECEIVER

a. Install the condenser (with receiver) with the 2 bolts.

Torque: 3.9 N.m (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf)

HINT: If the condenser is replaced with a new one, add compressor oil to the new condenser.

Capacity: 40 cc (1.4 fl. oz.)

Compressor oil: ND-OIL 11 or equivalent

b. Install the 2 angles to the condenser (with receiver).

2. INSTALL RADIATOR SUPPORT SUB-ASSEMBLY UPPER RH

a. Install the radiator support upper with the 4 bolts.

Torque:
5.0 N.m (51 kgf.cm, 44 in.lbf) for bolt A
3.9 N.m (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf) for bolt B
7.5 N.m (76 kgf.cm, 66 in.lbf) for bolt C

4. CONNECT COOLER REFRIGERANT LIQUID PIPE E (TO COOLER UNIT)
a. Remove the attached vinyl tape from the disconnected parts of the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe E and condenser assembly (with receiver).
b. Install a new O-ring to the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe E.
c. Sufficiently apply compressor oil (ND-OIL 11) to the O-ring and the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe E fitting surface.

Compressor oil: ND-OIL 11 or equivalent

NOTE:
- Do not use any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11.
- If any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 is used, compressor motor insulation performance may decrease, resulting in a leakage of electric power.

d. Connect the cooler refrigerant liquid pipe E to the condenser (with receiver) with the bolt.

Torque: 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 47 in.lbf)

5. CONNECT DISCHARGE HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY
a. Remove the attached vinyl tape from the disconnected parts of the discharge hose and the condenser (with receiver).
b. Install a new O-ring to the discharge hose.
c. Sufficiently apply compressor oil (ND-OIL 11) to the O-ring and the discharge hose fitting surface.

NOTE:
- Do not use any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11.
- If any compressor oil other than ND-OIL 11 is used, compressor motor insulation performance may decrease, resulting in a leakage of electric power.

d. Connect the discharge hose to the condenser (with receiver) with the bolt.

Torque: 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 47 in.lbf)

6. INSTALL NO. 1 INVERTER BRACKET

7. INSTALL FRONT BUMPER COVER
a. Install the front bumper cover.

8. INSTALL FRONT FENDER LINER RH
9. INSTALL FRONT FENDER LINER LH
10. CHARGE REFRIGERANT
