J-9553-1 O-Ring Remover
J-23128-A Seal Seat Remover and Installer
J-33011 O-Ring Installer

Important : A shaft seal should not be replaced because a small amount of oil is found on the adjacent surface. The seal is designed to leak some oil for lubrication purposes. A shaft seal should be changed only when a large amount of sprayed oil is found and then only after actual refrigerant leakage is found by using an approved leak detection procedure. Refer to "Leak Testing the Refrigerant System" in this section.

Should a compressor shaft seal ever have to be replaced, the receiver-dryer in this system must also be removed from the vehicle. The oil in the receiver-dryer must then be drained, measured and replaced. Refer to "Adding Oil to the Air Conditioning Refrigerant System" in this section.

Disassembly Procedure

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Recover the refrigerant. Refer to "Discharging, Adding Oil, Evacuating, and Charging Procedures for A/C System" in this section.

Leak Testing - External -

    Tools Required

    J-9625-A Pressure Test Set
  1. Install the pressure test set connector J-9625-A to the suction/discharge ports on the compressor.
  2. Attach the center hose of the manifold gauge set on the charging station to a refrigerant drum standing in an upright position. Open the valve on the drum.
  3. Connect the charging station high and low-pressure lines to the corresponding fittings on the pressure test set connectors J-9625-A (or hoses equipped with valve depressors). The suction port (low-side) of the compressor has a large internal opening. The discharge port (high-side) has a smaller internal opening into the compressor.
  4. Open the low pressure control, the high-pressure control and the refrigerant control on the charging station to allow the refrigerant vapor to flow into the compressor.
  5. Using a leak detector, check for leaks at the high-pressure relief valve seal, the housing seal, the rear head seal, the center cylinder seal, the through-bolt gaskets, and the compressor shaft seal. After checking for leaks, shut off the low pressure control, the high pressure control and the refrigerant control lines on the charging station.
  6. If an external leak is present, perform the necessary corrective measures and recheck for leaks to verify that the leak has been corrected.
  7. Loosen the manifold gauge hose connections to the gauge adapters connected to the low and high sides. Allow the vapor pressure to release from the compressor. If valve depressor-type hoses are used, loosen the hose connections at the gauge manifold to release vapor pressure from the compressor.
  8. Disconnect both gauge hoses. Remove the pressure test set connector J-9625-A.
