How to install an A/C Expansion Valve on Dodge Journey?

First, remove all tape or plugs from the opened refrigerant connections and from the ports on the expansion valve and the evaporator. New O-ring seals should be lubricated with clean refrigerant oil and placed onto the line and tubing fittings using only seals that are made for the R-134a system and the model of the refrigerant oil specified by the A/C compressor. Then, fasten the A/C expansion valve onto the side of the tube tapping block on the evaporator tube using two bolts and tighten them to 11 Nm (97 in. lbs.). Attach the A/C liquid and suction line assembly to the expansion valve, lining up their tube ends with the valve to avoid damaging the seals or tubes and then tighten the connecting nut to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.). Fix the refrigerant line retaining bracket to the stud on the right front strut tower by using a nut and tightening it properly. To install the heat shield, put it on the three studs that sit just behind the dash panel in the engine compartment and install the three nuts, tightening each to 1 Nm (10 in. lbs.) After installing the negative cable again, avoid turning on the engine together with the vacuum pump or vacuum for the A/C system to prevent serious damage to the A/C compressor, if your car has the Denso 6SEU16 variable displacement compressor. After everything, drain the system, change the oil in the refrigerant and then add refrigerant into the A/C system.
