What to use to remove ac high side schrader valve? Autozone and Oreilly did not have a schrader valve removal tool that was large enough to remove the high side valve on my 2000 Firebird's factory ac line. What do you suggest to use to remove it? Can I obtain a proper tool from somewhere else?

Usually if they are the large ones and a regular tire valve size tool won't work, you can use a pair of needle nose pliers to turn it. Also snap-ring pliers could work if you had the right tips.
The line is alumnium so they can corrode in there, if it looks nasty i'd suggest spraying some penetrating oil in there first, but usually if the cap was kept on the threads are clean and they come out with minimal drama.
