Need help working on AC system with new motor. Can anyone tell me what tools and parts I need to recharge my AC system? I'm pretty savy with the mechanics of my car but when it comes to AC I'm a friggin dolt.
Basically I had the motor pulled apart and to make my life easier I drained and removed the AC. Well the AC and the motor is all back together. I just need to know what to do about recharging the AC?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Need help working on AC system with new motor. need to pull a vaccum on it to evaporate all the moisture then you can charge it with a cheap service kit you can buy at a parts store (1.5 lbs of 134a I think) or just take it to a mechanic who has AC stuff to do it all since they most likely will be the one to pull the vacuum) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Need help working on AC system with new motor. Thanks FB.
I'll see if my local auto store has the vacuum thingy and freon. I called the dealer they want $155 for the labor and freon to recharge my AC. Seems like too much in my eyes to fix this. Plus I hate those monkeys at the dealer touching my car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
