Hi all, I'm in the midst of refurbishing my a/c system. (1991 4speed carat, original specs-new parts) Things I've done thus far: Break apart system into sections and flushed with a quart of methanol and a gallon denatured alcohol Cleaned up fittings and replaced o-rings(r-134a retrofit kit) Replaced the Expansion valve, now I realize this didn't need to be done probably but it was cheap. Replaced the dryer Bought a vacuum pump and already had the gauges Hoping original compressor works, it spins freely and doesn't make any bad noises. system was not operational when i bought so unsure Whilst removing the hoses from the condenser the threads stripped off one of the fittings(on condenser side of connection) I ordered a new condenser.... My question is: Is it hard to remove the condenser without dropping the radiator/opening the cooling system? thanks all, -Ry http://www.google.com/profiles/rylincoln |
