    The NVH acoustic cover must be fully removed to properly weigh the compressor.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    Remove as much adhesive material from the NVH acoustic cover as possible. Excessive material left on compressor will cause an inaccurate weight measurement.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • Flat scraper blade
    • Wire brush
  3. Remove the transportation plugs from the new A/C compressor.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • 13 mm socket
    • Flex head ratchet/flex head torque wrench
  4. Weigh the new A/C compressor.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    The new compressor should weigh 7193g. Escalate if the compressor weight is incorrect.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • Weighing scale - 1067799-00-A
  5. Install a new NVH blanket on the new A/C compressor.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    Reuse the old NVH blanket if a new one is not available and the adhesive is in good working condition.
    1. Remove the new NVH blanket adhesive backing, and then lay the NVH acoustic cover down with the adhesive side facing upwards.
    2. Align the NVH acoustic cover cut outs to the suction port on the A/C compressor.
    3. Install the NVH acoustic cover around the suction port on the A/C compressor, and then continue to wrap the NVH cover around the compressor.
