What did you do to your jeep today?
Honestly I was concerned I might be spamming the group. But since at least one person had interest in it and this can be sort of "black magic" for some folks (including myself, this is the first time I have had success doing AC work... - knock wood-), I thought I'd share what I have learned...- burntkat

More info if you folks care for it, on the inline filters... Magnefine is the one I started using, but I had some trouble finding them for a while and started using the Raybestos brand when production left OZ and came to the US. See pics. They are each between 25 and 30 bucks, and worth every...- burntkat

That fluid looks REALLY. glittery. If it was mine, I would reassemble with new fluid and filter, and install an inline filter (I prefer Magnefine filters) inline on the RETURN line from the cooler, taking care to observe proper direction of flow. Put one on the PS return line as well. In...- burntkat

All back together and on the vacuum... Now we wait about 45 minutes (according to the manufacturer). My son is about an hour ahead of the allotted book time on this. So we will be letting the machine do its thing with no shortcuts...- burntkat

For the accumulator - pour the rest of the bottle (assuming an 8oz bottle) into the middle port. It is the IN port. I am winging this, but I didn't see any other info than to add half(ish) of the oil to the accumulator. I added to the in port on the assumption it's just going to get blown...- burntkat

Had to do some research. My compressor didn't come prefilled with oil. There is some shipping oil to prevent corrosion, but not enough for operation... So, check the videos.... Well, crap. They are too big.... So you must suffer while I type... So you need to add 4oz in the compressor, 4 in...- burntkat

In my particular case since I am doing everything... It's 8 ounces of PAG oil, which is what came with the kit. Add half to the intake port on the compressor.... And half to the accumulator.. I have identified the ports so you don't have to. See next post- burntkat

So now we are at the 'installation is the reverse of removal' part of the -10 manual... (IYKYK). You will need to transfer over the sensor on the line at the compressor, and the sensor on the accumulator. Don't expose them to cleanser. I can't imagine it would do them any favors. You also need...- burntkat

Once the Accumulator is out, it is time to blow out the evaporator core unless you are replacing it. None of the new stuff should need this. Absolutely DO NOT blow out the compressor or accumulator new components (or old if you are not replacing it). This is a VERY messy operation. Think...- burntkat

Last on our list is the accumulator aka receiver-dryer. Haven't got it out yet but looks like a 13mm for the line, and pinch bolt looks like an 8mm. See the green dot in the Pic.... The bolt is hard to see but it's right there where my laser pointer is making the dot...- burntkat

Remove the compressor. 2 15mm on the front into the timing cover and a 13mm going down into the cylinder head. Brings one of the lines with it....- burntkat

Protip- to get the rad separate from the condensor and out the vehicle, don't forget the 2 10mm bolts holding the oil cooler (probably PS cooler, but hey that's still oil) that hold the oil cooler in place. And it helps to remove the top bolts that hold the plastic subframe for the headlights...- burntkat

While the rad and condensor are out, got a good view of the cooling fans. I'd swapped the stock engine fan for a flex fan a while back owing to shit replacement fan couplings.. So what I have now is a severe duty cooling system. The engine fan moves as fast as the engine at all times. And yes...- burntkat
