Compressor (For 2Az-Fe) Removal

Start up the engine.

Turn the A/C switch on.

Operate the cooler compressor at an engine speed of approximately 1000 rpm for 5 to 6 minutes to circulate the refrigerant. This causes most of the compressor oil from the various components of the A/C system to collect in the A/C compressor.

Stop the engine.

Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system using a refrigerant recovery unit.

Using SST, slowly turn the V-ribbed belt tensioner clockwise.
