On some of the more recent vehicles, you will need to replace the high side valve core and cap. Although I just replaced one in my '01 Dodge Dakota 4K4 sport with a 4 cylinder engine recently, this one looks almost identical to the one I put in an '09 Chevy Suburban 1500 LT V8 with the 4 cylinder engine. The V8 is of a 3L displacement. Only the color of the o-ring differs from the other, as far as I can tell One seal just above the threaded part is Buna. Perhaps the other is I don't think it matters much. The threads of this one were already treated with a thread treatment prior to being delivered, with a new dust cap already included This locking compound has a thick consistency. It is not possible to replace the core of the inner valve separately since the core is integral to the piece. You can remove the plastic cap from your high side valve by going to your high side valve. Here is what you will see if you look down This part is not meant to be used if there is a stem sticking out the middle like that of a tire fill valve. Instead, if you see a little diaphragm, you need this. It is upside down in the listing picture. A threaded part is attached to the aluminum tube on the high side, where there is a hex and a circumferential notch, making it appear as if that is where the assembly comes apart. Nonetheless, take caution! Wrenching your wrench there is NOT the way to go! Instead, this valve body has a hex molded into (into, onto? 1) what are the top quick tips The collar should be connected. (Based on the listing photo, it is the very first ring at the very bottom. terribly obvious at first, but you need to hold firmly onto the hex when changing that fastener while unscrewing it, in order to prevent damage to the aluminum tube. The valve body is made of light aluminum.
The hex on the valve body is odd-shaped. There are three methods you can use to grind your own special open-end ball using a channel lock, or using an open-end grinding machine. You can also get the special socket if you want to use an open-ended wrench. The socket can be purchased on Amazon. Here are some searches you might want to perform I found this Mastercool (MSC98234) R134A HIGH SIDE HEX SOCET to be useful
Things do not have to be gorilla-sized A tight fit. At the green O-seal, the seal is made Unlike the ring shown in the photo, the threads are more or less just for holding things in place, so do not wind up the aluminum tube getting too tight. I'm with you! Getting the nuts and bolts securely fastened together is enough, perhaps with a tiny bit of loctite if yours doesn't have Changing this would require emptying the system, which I don't see a way around. Consequently, the refrigerant in the system must be recovered, and not simply vented into the atmosphere as you would do if you were simply venting it. Furthermore, if you want to recharge the system, you will need to pull a vacuum. Fill the system with the correct amount of refrigerant. Usually a critical amount of refrigerant is required for most vehicles. You should also replace the drier if the system has been depressed for any period, which means you will have to add oil of the appropriate kind and amount to the system when repressurizing it. The charging process. I suggest that you take it to the shop if all this sounds confusing, just don't spend thousands on a new evaporator if all you need is a new service valve for less than ten dollars. "Please start by replacing your service valve. Then proceed to leak check before diving in to the evaporator. " If they balk, say, "Please replace the service valve first. ". I suggest that you look for a new shop if the shop balks at that request because that guy is a crook!" The evaporator is nothing more than a tube or tube and fins. If it were very, very old, you would need a screwdriver to accidentally poke through or to accidentally stick a screwdriver into it. The seals and connections for the evaporator are usually located in the engine box, not under the hood. The service valves, on the other hand, are notorious for failing. Peter -
