Q: How to remove the Condenser on Cadillac Escalade?
A: To remove the air conditioning system, start by discharging it. Then, remove the plastic cover over the Radiator support and the headlight housings. Next, take out the condenser upper mounting bolts and bracket retaining nut from the radiator. Remove the radiator support and unclip the radiator air baffle. After that, remove the condenser bracket mounting nut and pull the bracket off the stud. Unclip the left and right side air baffles from the condenser. Disconnect the air conditioning lines to the condenser, plugging the open fittings to prevent dirt and moisture from entering, and discard the O-rings. Depress the condenser retaining tabs and carefully lift the condenser off of the radiator. If installing a new condenser, pour two ounces of refrigerant oil into it before installation. To install, follow the reverse order of removal, using new seals lubricated with clean refrigerant oil when attaching the lines to the condenser. Finally, have the system evacuated, recharged, and leak tested.
