• Q: How to replace the A/C Hose for the condenser and evaporator tube on 2010 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Experts must begin by recovering refrigerant from the a/c system before replacing the air conditioning condenser and air conditioning evaporator tube. First detach the intake manifold cover while subsequently removing the air cleaner assembly then the radiator air lower deflector. You need to unfasten the air conditioning condenser and air conditioning evaporator tube nut at the thermal expansion valve before separating the air conditioning condenser and air conditioning evaporator tube from the thermal expansion valve. Perform this same procedure again at the condenser nut and remove the condenser tube. The procedure requires removing the air conditioning condenser and evaporator hose nut that connects to the air conditioning condenser before working on the air conditioning evaporator tube. After this, proceed to detach the hose. After disengaging the tube retainers from the body remove the tube from the vehicle by first taking out the air conditioning condenser and air conditioning evaporator tube nut at the frame rail. Proceed to place the air conditioning condenser and air conditioning evaporator tube into the vehicle then activate the tube retainers for installation. Before installation put the tube nut at the frame rail of air conditioning condenser and evaporator with a torque of 15 nm (11 lb in). Secure the hose nut at the air conditioning condenser and air conditioning evaporator tube by tightening it to 15 nm (11 lb in). Proceed to install the tube through the condenser before tightening its nut to 15 nm (11 lb in). Thereafter attach the tube from the thermal expansion valve while securing its nut with 15 nm torque (11 lb in). The last procedure involves reinstalling the radiator air lower deflector, air cleaner assembly, intake manifold cover then performing the vacuum and pressure testing of the a/c system.
