Get rid of dirt and moisture. The disconnected line must be immediately plugged and sealed with sealant.
Handle tubes and hoses very carefully. Any bend or kink will reduce the performance of the system. Do not attempt to straighten a bent tube. It needs to be replaced.
If the tubing fitting has two wrench ends, hold one end while loosening the nut on the other. The tubes are made of lightweight material and bend easily.
Once the system is depressurized, the fittings should be loosened carefully and listen for residual pressure. Release pressure slowly before removing tubes or hoses.
Most connections or fittings include small O-rings. This ring must be replaced before connecting the line. Check the O-ring for scratches or nicks.
Fittings must be reinstalled very carefully and tightened to the correct torque. Too tight will damage the threads, too loose will cause leaks.

Withdrawal
Disconnect and remove the battery cable.
Carefully release pressure from the air conditioner.
If the condenser fan is installed in front of the condenser, remove the fan. When dismantling the fan, do not forget about other pipes, hoses or brackets that are attached to the fan housing. They can be loosened or rearranged as needed.
Label and disconnect both lines to the capacitor. If there is a need to remove the pipeline, disconnect the other end of the tube and remove the line. Do not bend the tube to provide access to the work site.
Loosen the capacitor mounting bolts.
Carefully remove the capacitor (1) from the car.
