Hello everyone , not long ago my ac compressor seized and i have decided to get a re manufactured replacement . I have decided to go with this one off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/111612636978?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. My guestion is how hard is it to change the receiver drier ? do i need to take the bumper off to get to it ? any tips would be appreciated. My other concern is refilling the ac , my friend has the tank with a pressure gauge but Im not sure about the pressure the ac in my car needs.

Thank in advance !

 

Have you reviewed the information in the FSM?

"Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)
INFOID:0000000002989499
CAUTION:
• CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a)
refrigerant are not compatible. Compressor mal-
function is likely to occur if the refrigeran
ts are mixed, refer to
“CONTAMINATED REFRIGERANT”
below. To determine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a)
in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refriger-
ant Recovery/Recycling Recharging equi
pment and Refrigerant Identifier.
• Use only specified lubricant
for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. Compressor malfunction is
likely to occur if lubricant othe
r than that specified is used.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly
absorbs moisture from
the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precauti
ons must be observed:
- Cap (seal) immediately the component to minimize
the entry of moisture from the atmosphere when
removing refrigerant components from a vehicle.
- Never remove the caps (unseal) until just before co
nnecting the components wh
en installing refrig-
erant components to a vehicle.
Connect all refrigerant loop co
mponents as quickly as possible to
minimize the entry of
moisture into system.
- Use only the specified lubricant fr
om a sealed container. Reseal imme
diately containers of lubricant.
Lubricant becomes moisture saturated and
should not be used without proper sealing.
- Never allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type
S) to come in contact with styrene foam parts.
Damage may result."

yes i have looked through the FSM but cant seem to find what i need, like the exact number of how much R-134a the system needs , my friend will be doing the work so Im trying to have the info on hand , Thanks for trying to help but FSM doesn't tell me whats the easiest way to remove the drier from experience some guys might have here , i will have to empty the system out prior at the shop
