Honda Fit: Receiver/Dryer Desiccant Replacement (With A/C)
NOTE: Install the receiver/dryer as quickly as possible to prevent the system from absorbing moisture from the air.

Remove the A/C condenser.
-
Remove the bolts from the A/C condenser, then remove the receiver/dryer (A), the bracket (B), and the O-rings (C).

Install the receiver/dryer in the reverse order of removal. Replace the O-rings with new ones, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil (SP-10) before installing them. Be sure to use the correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
