5.8 Reposition AC Dryer
Note: This step may or may not be required for your
particular vehicle. S60R model years 2004-2005
use a larger AC dryer canister than the later 2006-
2007 models (see Fig. 5.5 and 5.6). If your vehicle
is equipped with the smaller AC dryer canister you
will not need to perform this step and should skip to
Step 5.9.
This step in the installation process requires reposi-
tioning the AC dryer (see Figure 5.7) by bending the
AC dryer bracket slightly. This procedure does not
require any special tools, equipment or techniques.
However, the bracket to be bent is attached to the
AC condenser and care must be taken not to dam-
age the AC condenser during the process. Do not
force AC lines during the removal process.
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 5.7. 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 6.8a and 6.8b.
• 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 5.7. Only the aluminum bracket should bend
within the bracket bend area indicated in Figure 5.7.
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 5.7, 5.8a and 5.8b).
5.9 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 5.9,
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 5.7). 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. 5.4).
Do not tighten these bolts until after step 6.2. Do not reinstall two (2)
bolts securing top of radiator to radiator bulkhead.
