1. When removing or installing the A/C pressure transducer, always support the hex portion of the sensor port with an open-ended wrench. See Figure 2. This prevents any damage to the A/C pipe due to the twisting force of the wrench.

Notice: Failure to do so may cause damage to the A/C pipe, resulting in refrigerant leakage.

2. While the sensor port is supported with the open-ended wrench, the A/C pressure transducer can now be safely removed or installed by using a deep socket wrench. See Figure 3.

> Refer to the applicable shop manual for the tightening torque specification.

Wheel Bearing Adjustment Tools & Equipment

A wheel bearing that’s out of adjustment can reduce bearing life and can affect more than just the bearing. It’s important to adjust the wheel bearing endplay to the proper specifications. If the bearing set is adjusted too loose or too tight, it can cause the bearing to fail prematurely. There are a few types of assemblies, so using correct procedures and tools will ensure a comeback-free wheel bearing installation.
