• Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Installing a New A/C Accumulator on 2000 Chrysler LHS?

  A: After installing a new A/C accumulator, don't leave it out in the open too long, because it includes materials that can draw moisture from the surroundings. The process should start by removing all refrigerant with an A/C refrigerant recovery machine. After that, remove both the engine air inlet tube and the air distribution duct. Undo the center 8mm hex bolt on the A/C accumulator bracket and also the plastic nut that holds the A/C lines to the expansion valve. Carefully remove the A/C accumulator bracket from the strut tower and then take out the A/C line at the accumulator that goes to the condenser. Take out the old A/C accumulator, move the small line to the expansion valve on the new A/C accumulator and insert the O-rings as it goes on. When the refrigerator is open, plug or cap the liquid line fittings so moisture doesn't enter. When installing, just fit all the separate parts together and once you're done, retighten each part and line to avoid damaging anything.
