  Q: How to service the A/C Accumulator on Mercury Montego?

  A: Service of the A/C accumulator requires first recovering refrigerant and placing the vehicle on the hoist in NEUTRAL gear. You should unfasten both A/C accumulator bracket bolts though reinstallation requires you to secure them at 9 Nm (80 lb-in). After removing the fitting nut and discarding the O-ring seal from the condenser outlet connection, it is necessary to install the new fitting with torque at 8 Nm (71 lb-in) during assembly. Removal of the A/C accumulator outlet fitting nut enables you to disconnect the fitting along with the discard of its O-ring seal prior to tightening the new fitting to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). Follow the reverse steps of removal to install the A/C accumulator unit while using new O-ring seals and applying the appropriate clean PAG oil amount to the system. Complete the process by evacuating, running leak tests, and charging the refrigerant system wires.
