I followed the instructions in the links above last weekend to replace compressor and accumulator. First time I ever tried something like this and was rather intimidated. End results were great!! AC runs cooler than it has in years. The coolant system runs cooler too since I made sure I burped the systme correctly. Just take your time and follow the instructions. I rented a manifold system from autozone and bought a vaccum pump from harbor freight. Good luck.
