Honda Odyssey Service Manual: Receiver/Dryer Desiccant Replacement

NOTE: Install the receiver/dryer as quickly as possible to prevent the system from absorbing moisture from the air.

1. Remove the A/C   condenser.

2. Remove the cap (A) from the bottom of the A/C   condenser. Remove the O-ring (B) and the desiccant (C).

3. Install the receiver/dryer in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:

   • If you are installing a new desiccant, add refrigerant oil (DENSO ND-OIL 8)

   • Replace the O-rings with new ones, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil (DENSO ND-OIL 8) before installing them. Be sure to use the correct O-rings   for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.

   • Install the cap to the specified torque. It is made of plastic and can be easily stripped.
