Default Racket from A/C , I think, quit and so did A/C

A/C Compressor making racket......advised to let it go until it dies......A/C quit working......compressor not making racket anymore..........Compressors dead in my opinion. What would the swap consist of if I replaced it myself.... Recharge ? ....etc......? or can you isolate the freon while you swap the compressor ? Thanks

most of the time its simply the clutch that dies, replace the pulley-clutch assembly and you will probably be fine. Any shop that worked on A/Cs can do a A/C diagnose for you for about 50-60 which will tell you if you have any leaks (whether your compressor is bad)
