  Q: How to Service the A/C Accumulator on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: The first step for A/C accumulator servicing involves recovering refrigerant then placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist. The removal of the condenser outlet fitting requires you to first remove its nut along with the O-ring seal which should be discarded before tightening the new fitting to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). The procedure starts with unscrewing the A/C accumulator outlet fitting nut then disconnecting the fitting before throwing out the old O-ring seal during replacement of new fittings that need to be tightened to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). Secure the A/C accumulator bracket bolts at 9 Nm torque when reinstalling them. When installing the A/C accumulator, reverse all uninstallation steps but ensure proper replacement of new O-ring seals while applying correct PAG oil amounts to the clean refrigerant system. The refrigerant system requires evacuation followed by leak testing then charge procedures should be completed.
