4runner air conditioning condenser

[mikej]

How do you take out a air conditioning condenser from a 1990 v6 4runner??? Do you have to remove the radiator and fan??? Take it out from the bottom????
Thanks for the help. Mike Doh. I meant remove compressor.

This 1993 Toyota Pickup Service Manual will help out exceedingly.

Particularly page 2 of this section

Yea. Thanks. I missed the part about removing the power steering pump. It still looks like a bear.

you know how to recharge?

 

[mikej]

Yes. I have charged other makes. First time for a 4runner. Is there a trick.
BTW to remove the compressor I had to remove radiator, shroud, fan, battery, loosen the power steering pump (did not take it out), and remove the passenger side steering damper bolt. Remove the little door in the wheel well helps. It became a job.
Thanks. Mike
