Default Who has recharged their own AC?

I'm trying to recharge my AC, anyone ever done it before? How hard/easy is it to do? Got any directions?

Do you have the new shit? R134 or what not? It was easy as hell.

I dont remember the specifics, look it up on www.camaroz28.com , I remember unscrewing one of the plugs on the AC hardline and plugging the canisters in.. thats about it.

Actually, overfilling it causes the compressor to kick on and off quick, almost the same it does when you're refrigerant is getting low. Doesn't produce any cool air at all and burns you're compressor up. If you go buy one of those shitty things from like advance or something its really easy, but its still not done correctly. Just hook it up to you're line (the fitting only fits one anyway) and get the refridgerant. I'd let all you're previous shit out.(if you have any) Don't forget to buy the guage they have to see how much you have in there. Like i said, its a shitty way of doing it, but it will get the job done for a bit.

I redid mine. Goto autozone and buy a r134 recharge kit. Theyre 30 bucks at most. You take off the caps and snap on the lines. It comes with a gauge and tells you when its full. Pretty fool proof. If you have a leak, then you have a problem.
