Well better luck than me. Snapped the 1st bolt right off the compressor and another at firewallI followed the FSM and had no problems with any of the bolts.
When is the last time you calibrated your torque wrench?Well better luck than me. Snapped the 1st bolt right off the compressor and another at firewall
That could be my issue.When is the last time you calibrated your torque wrench?
At the firewall, aren't you running a steel bolt into aluminum?
Yeah. I need part # for bolts.All the screws are steel into aluminum. Are you using OEM screws?
Yeah. I need part # for bolts.
What FSM are you using? There are a few versions of the Toyota FSM that have incorrect torque specs in them (like lb-in instead of lb-ft)Just replaced 7 o-rings on the ac system. Not sure if there's anymore.
Found torque specs in FSM but already snapped one bolt. Anyone have a clear understanding of the torque for each?
Wow I didn't know that. Just using this oneWhat FSM are you using? There are a few versions of the Toyota FSM that have incorrect torque specs in them (like lb-in instead of lb-ft)
These screws don't require much. It will be something like 14 lb-in (whatever that is in Nm for you....)
Wow I didn't know that. Just using this one
The 1st bolt off compressor was 10nm and I used a lb.ft 7 and it snapped. Perhaps my torque wrench was off. But I torqued much higher on the condenser and they survived.
I followed the fsm7 lb-ft is 84 lb-in.
That's a lot for those.
Already replaced compressor. I guess I'll start with the rest.The dryer should be replaced any time the system is opened.
If you have a blockage, I think you're going to have to find it and remove it, which likely means removing the dryer, compressor, condenser, and evaporator.

Ok thx. I'll see what it costs the shop to do.No, you have to remove each component so that you can blow out the lines with solvent. Attempting to clear a blockage without doing so will just send the blockage down the line. That could clog your condenser, TXV, or grenade your compressor.
