The AC dryer is attached to the AC condenser with an
aluminum bracket. This bracket is fairly easy to bend
into the new position by rotating the AC dryer as shown
in Figure 4.7. The AC dryer will be moved approximately
1” when rotated from it’s original position. The before
and after positions of the AC dryer can be seen in Fig-
ures 4.8a and 4.8b.
• Grip the AC dryer canister firmly with both hands or
with a large pair of channel lock pliers. Carefully ro-
tate AC dryer canister, bending the bracket as shown
in Figure 4.7. Only the aluminum bracket should bend
within the bracket bend area indicated in Figure 4.7.
When the AC dryer is properly positioned Section A of
the bracket will be in line with the face of the AC con-
denser (see Figures 4.7, 4.8a and 4.8b).
4.9 Reassemble AC Condenser and Radiator
• Reassemble radiator / AC condenser assembly.
At each of the four connecting points position
supplied Radiator/AC Condenser Spacer between
the radiator and AC condenser and insert supplied
bolt and washer assembly into each corner of the
radiator /AC condenser assembly (see Figure 4.9,
Note: Spacer, normally black, is shown here in
silver for photographic clarity).
• On vehicles with larger AC dryer canister check
clearance of AC dryer to radiator. There should be
no contact between AC dryer and radiator, if there is contact, carefully
rotate AC dryer to provide additional clearance (see Step 4.7). There
should be at least 1/8” between AC dryer canister and any part of the
radiator.
• Tighten four (4) bolts to secure AC condenser to radiator.
• Return AC condenser / radiator assembly to original position and rein-
stall two (2) bolts securing radiator to vehicle (see Items B in Fig. 4.4).
Do not tighten these bolts until after step 6.2. Do not reinstall two (2)
bolts securing top of radiator to radiator bulkhead.
