Have the refrigerant discharged and recovered by an air conditioning technician. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Remove the plastic cover over the radiator. Remove the front bumper cover. Remove the hood latch. On 2007 Acura MDX models, remove the ATF cooler bracket located in front of the condenser. Remove the radiator and condenser mounting brackets. Disconnect the refrigerant lines from the condenser. Cap the fittings on the condenser and lines to prevent the entry of dirt or moisture. Remove the condenser by lifting it straight up and out of the engine compartment between the radiator and power steering lines or ATF cooler. Be careful not to damage any of the fins on it or the radiator. Check the rubber mounts on the bottom of the condenser for wear or deterioration and replace them if necessary. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the line fitting mounting bolts. If a new condenser is being installed, add 1-1/6 ounces (35 ml) of fresh refrigerant oil. Assemble all connections with new O-rings, lightly lubricated with R-134a refrigerant oil. On 2007 Acura MDX models, add 1-2/3 ounces (50 ml) of fresh refrigerant oil. Reconnect the battery. Have the system evacuated, charged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.
