How to service and repair the A/C Hose manifold and tube assembly on 2006 Lincoln LS?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step to handle thermostatic expansion valve manifold and tube assembly servicing begins with hoisting the vehicle into neutral position. The system requires two steps which start with draining coolant followed by recovering the refrigerant. Start by removing the fresh air inlet duct together with the right-hand air deflector shield. The receiver/drier manifold removal requires you to replace its O-ring seals before securing the new fitting with torque of 8 Nm (71 lb-in). Sequel to disconnecting the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) manifold and tube bracket bolt, workers should tighten the rear heater tube bracket bolt to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) when reinstalling the parts. Dismantle the compressor manifold along with the tube inlet fitting and discard the O-ring seals before you can release the lower heater hose clamp to separate the lower hose. Remove the heater core heater hoses by releasing their clamps while removing the front heater tube bracket bolt that becomes tight at 9 Nm (80 lb-in) during reinstallation. The reinstallation requires tightened bolts on the three wire harness bracket at 9 Nm (80 lb-in). Untighten the TXV fitting bolt until you discard the O-ring seals before torquing the new installation to 21 Nm (15 lb-ft). Complete installation of the TXV manifold tube assembly by performing the reverse uninstallation steps using new replacement O-rings and by properly lubricating the system with clean PAG oil. The refrigerant system needs evacuation testing followed by refrigerant addition during the concluding steps.
