A/C Compressor Relief Valve Replacement

NOTE: If the A/C compressor relief valve released refrigerant to the atmosphere, determine and correct the cause of the excessive system pressure, then replace the relief valve
  1. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/recycling/charging station (see RECEIVER/DRYER DESICCANT REPLACEMENT )
  2. Remove the relief valve (A) and the O-ring (B) Plug the opening to keep foreign matter from entering the system, and the A/C compressor oil from running out
