Q: How to remove and install a compressor in a Nissan Rogue's air conditioning system?A: Have the refrigerant discharged at a dealer service department or an automotive air conditioning repair facility. If you are going to install a new compressor, inform the shop doing the work to record the amount of refrigerant oil recovered when the system is discharged. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Loosen the right front wheel lug nuts. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel and the inner fender splash shield. Remove the splash guard underneath the engine. Remove the fresh air intake duct. Remove the drivebelt and, on 2013 and earlier models/2014 and later Rogue Select models, remove the alternator. Disconnect the electrical connector from the air conditioning compressor. Remove the fasteners and disconnect the refrigerant lines from the compressor. Plug all open fittings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture into the lines. Remove the compressor mounting bolts and remove the compressor from the engine compartment. If a new compressor is being installed, the clutch assembly may have to be transferred to the new compressor. The removal of the clutch assembly will require the use of several special tools. If a new compressor is being installed, follow the directions with the compressor regarding the measuring and adding of oil prior to installation. Add to that the amount of oil measured during recovering of the refrigerant. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the compressor mounting bolts to the torque value. Do not use old 0-rings for the refrigerant lines; replace them with new ones and apply compressor oil to them before installation. Reconnect the battery and perform the necessary re-learn procedures. Have the system evacuated, charged and leak tested by the shop that discharged it.
