  Q: How to install the A/C Accumulator (AC P/N 15-1697) on GMC Savana 2500?

  A:

  Begin installation of the A/C Accumulator (AC P/N 15-1697) by taking out the air cleaner followed by engine Coolant Reservoir and finally removing the pieces of the grille. Then extract the evaporator tube from the vehicle. Measure 60 mm (2.5 in) from the condenser end but mark the spot on the evaporator tube before measuring 50.8 mm (2 in) further. When you use a tubing cutter on the marked section of the evaporator tube keep metal burrs out of the tube both during cutting and removal. Tread the burrs from the pieces afterward placing nuts followed by ferrules on both ends of the evaporator tube. Position the small end of the ferrules towards the nut before fixing the A/C Accumulator onto the evaporator tube using the flow arrow direction towards the evaporator. The technician should hold the evaporator tube inside the A/C Accumulator while tightening both nuts to 15 n.m (11 lb ft). The A/C Accumulator darfits nuts when the maintenance process begins. The o-rings should receive 525 viscosity refrigerant oil coating before being placed on the evaporator tube. Install the nuts into the A/C Accumulator while tightening them to 15 n.m (11 lb ft). The end of the procedure encompasses evaporator tube reinstallation into the vehicle while charging the a/c system. The technician performs a leak test with halogen leak detector (J 39400-A) on repaired components' fittings before reinstalling the grille and engine Coolant Reservoir and air cleaner.

  Q: How to replace the A/C Accumulator on GMC Savana 2500?

  A:

  The first step to change the A/C accumulator is to remove all refrigerant from the A/C system. You should begin by taking out the evaporator hose assembly and afterward you need to remove the four nuts from the A/C accumulator. Retain the accumulator nuts and ferrules while they should stay on the condenser tube. You should remove the A/C accumulator from its position on the condenser tube. O-rings must first be installed before joining the A/C accumulator to the condenser tube with the flow arrow facing towards the evaporator. You must attach the nuts to the A/C accumulator and tighten them to 15 N.m (11 lb ft). Put back the evaporator hose assembly and follow by evacuating the A/C system and recharging it. The Halogen Leak Detector (J 39400-A) should be used to conduct a leak test on all installed component fittings.
