- Inspect the new O-ring seal for any sign or cracks, cuts, or damage. Replace if necessary. Remove the cap or tape from the A/C refrigerant components. Using a lint-free clean, dry cloth, carefully clean the sealing surfaces of the A/C refrigerant components.
- Lightly coat the new O-ring seal with mineral base 525 viscosity refrigerant oil. Carefully slide the new O-ring seal onto the A/C refrigerant component. The O-ring seal must be fully seated. See Fig 1 .
- Assemble the A/C components. For compression style fittings use a back up wrench on the fitting and tighten the fitting nut to specification. See Figure . For banjo style fittings install the bolt retaining the banjo type fitting and tighten to specification.
NOTE:
DO NOT allow any of the mineral base 525 viscosity refrigerant oil on the new O-ring seal to enter the refrigerant system.
NOTE:
DO NOT reuse O-ring seals.
