Have the air conditioning system discharged by a dealer service department or an automotive air conditioning shop before proceeding. The condenser is combined with a power steering cooler, with the upper passages used for the power steering fluid cooling. At the bottom left of the condenser, there is a replaceable receiver/drier cartridge inside the condenser that is accessible by removing a threaded plug on the bottom of the condenser on the left end. Disconnect the refrigerant inlet and outlet pipes from the condenser. Remove the bolt or nut securing the pipes to the block that is part of the condenser. Cap the lines to prevent contamination. On 2012 and earlier models, the refrigerant pipe block is retained by a bolt and a pin type rivet that must be drilled out. On 2009 and earlier 2.3L and 3.0L engines and all 3.5L engines, remove the power steering cooler hoses from the top of the condenser and position them to the side. Release the clips securing the condenser to the radiator and remove the left and right radiator support brackets. On 1.5L, 1.6L and 2.0L models, remove the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) tube below the compressor. Remove the mounting bolts and lift the condenser up and out of the U-mounts on the radiator. Remove the condenser. If you're going to reinstall the same condenser, store it with the line fittings facing up to prevent oil from draining out. If you're going to install a new condenser, pour one ounce of refrigerant oil of the correct type into it prior to installation. Before reconnecting the refrigerant lines to the condenser, be sure to coat a pair of new O-rings with refrigerant oil, install them in the refrigerant line fittings and tighten the condenser inlet and outlet nuts securely. Installation is otherwise the reverse of removal. Have the system evacuated, recharged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.
