A/C Condenser Installation
NOTE: DENSO strongly recommends the replacement of the receiver-drier or accumulator
when the A/C system has been opened and exposed to atmospheric conditions during the
repair process.

adjusted for shipping, reposition
each mounting bracket to the
correct position. If the mounting
brackets are secured to the
condenser assembly with bolts,
slightly loosen each mounting bolt
and reposition each bracket to the
correct location and retighten the
bolts. Be careful not to over-tighten
the mounting bolts.
NOTE: Mounting hardware will vary by vehicle. Unless new mounting hardware is supplied or
purchased, reuse the plastic clips, grommets, cushioning, brackets, spacers, bushings and
hardware from the original condenser. Before installation, insert a piece of cardboard in front of
the radiator to protect the fins.
3. Install the condenser into the vehicle.
NOTE: Before tightening the condenser fasteners, remove the cardboard in front of the
radiator, used to protect the fins.
4. Tighten the condenser mounting brackets and hardware previously removed.
NOTE: Tighten fasteners to specifications. Refer to manufacturer's service manual for proper
specifications.
