  Q: How to remove and install an automotive air conditioning condenser?

  A: Have the system discharged and recovered by a dealer service department or by an automotive air conditioning shop. Remove the air intake duct assembly. Remove the Radiator upper mounting bolts and brackets. Remove the upper grille. Remove the receiver-drier, both liquid lines, and the receiver-drier mounting bracket. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the junction block at the condenser. Immediately cap the open fittings to prevent the entry of dirt and moisture. Remove the left condenser mounting bolt, remove the right mounting bolt and the two liquid line bracket nuts, and then lift the condenser out of the vehicle. Store the condenser upright to prevent oil loss. On 2016 and earlier models, remove the radiator. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the condenser. Seal all open ends to prevent contamination. On 2017 and later models, remove the front bumper cover. Remove the hood latch. Remove the air guard fasteners and guards from each side of the radiator. On 2016 and earlier models, slide the condenser straight up and out of the vehicle. On 2017 and later models, tilt the radiator assembly slightly forward and unclip the air conditioning condenser, then lift the condenser straight up and out of the vehicle. Installation: If you're going to reuse the old condenser, straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb and then blow out the debris with compressed air. Caution: Use a face shield and goggles when using compressed air to clean the condenser. Installation is the reverse of removal. If a new condenser was installed, add the correct amount and type of refrigerant oil to the system. Have the system evacuated, recharged, and leak tested.
