This TSB is being republished in its entirety to include the latest level tools and procedures available. ISSUE:
Some technicians may use small screwdrivers to remove O-rings from spring lock coupling fittings. This practice can and has resulted in scratches across the O-ring grooves in the fittings. Loss of refrigerant charge in the system may result.
ACTION:
It is recommended that a plastic toothpick, or equivalent tool, be used to remove O-rings. Refer to Figure 1. Do not use the metal O-Ring Tool (T71P-19703-C). Only plastic O-Ring Tool (F5VH-17B017-AA) is approved for O-ring removal.
