Compressor And Magnetic Clutch: Reassembly
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Scion tC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSTALL MAGNET CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
- Matching the parts shown in the illustration, install the magnet clutch starter.
- Using a snap ring expander, install a new snap ring with the chamfered side facing up.NOTE: Do not damage the seal cover of the bearing when installing the snap ring.
- Connect the connector.
- Using a snap ring expander, install the magnet clutch rotor and a new snap ring with the chamfered side facing up.NOTE:
- Do not expand the snap ring by more than 30.5 mm (1.2 in.) when installing it.
- Do not damage the seal cover of the bearing when installing the snap ring.
- Install the magnet clutch washer and magnet clutch hub.NOTE: Do not change the combination of the magnet clutch washers used before disassembly.
- Using SST, hold the magnet clutch hub and install the bolt.
SST 95047-10400
Torque: 18 N*m (184 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf)
NOTE: Make sure that there is no foreign matter or oil on the compressor shaft, bolt, and clutch hub.
- INSPECT MAGNETIC CLUTCH CLEARANCE
- Set the dial indicator to the magnet clutch hub.
- Connect the battery positive (+) lead to the terminal of the magnet clutch connector and the negative (-) lead to the earth wire. Turn the magnet clutch on and off and measure the clearance.
Standard clearance: 0.35 to 0.60 mm (0.014 to 0.023 in.)
If the measured value is not within the standard range, remove the magnet clutch hub and adjust it with magnet clutch washers.
NOTE: Adjustment should be performed with 3 or less magnet clutch washers. - Remove the compressor and magnetic clutch from the vise.
- ADJUST COMPRESSOR OIL
- When replacing the cooler compressor with a new one, after gradually removing the refrigerant gas from the service valve, drain the following amount of oil from the new cooler compressor before installation.
Standard: (Oil capacity inside new cooler compressor: 140 + 15 cc (4.7 + 0.5 fl. oz.) ) - (Remaining oil amount in the removed cooler compressor) = (Oil amount to be removed when replacing)
NOTE:- When checking the compressor oil level, observe the precautions for the cooler removal/installation.
- Since compressor oil remains in the pipes of the vehicle, if a new cooler compressor is installed without removing some oil inside, the oil amount becomes excessive, preventing heat exchange in the refrigerant cycle and causing refrigerant failure.
- If the remaining oil in the removed cooler compressor is too small in volume, check for oil leakage.
- Be sure to use ND-OIL 8 for compressor oil.
- When replacing the cooler compressor with a new one, after gradually removing the refrigerant gas from the service valve, drain the following amount of oil from the new cooler compressor before installation.
