  Q: How do you remove and install a condenser in a 1997 through 2001 Toyota Avalon?

  A: To remove the A/C Condenser, start by discharging the refrigerant and removing the radiator upper mounts. Then, remove the A/C Accumulator and disconnect the inlet and outlet fittings, ensuring to cap them immediately to prevent moisture and dirt from entering the system. Finally, remove the mounting nuts and push the radiator back towards the engine, followed by pushing the condenser rearward until it is free of the radiator support and can be pulled out of the vehicle. For installation, begin by installing the condenser, brackets, and bolts, ensuring the rubber cushions fit properly on the mounting points. Then, reconnect the refrigerant lines using new O-rings where necessary. Finally, reinstall the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal and have the system evacuated, charged, and leak tested.
