Compressor Relief Valve Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Acura 3.2CL and 2002 Acura 3.2CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/recycling/charging station (see REFRIGERANT RECOVERY ).
  2. Remove the relief valve (A) and the O-ring (B). Plug the opening to keep foreign matter from entering the system and the compressor oil from running out.
