RE: A/C removal/installation

I forgot to say the air compressor. Thats what needs to be replaced. Did anybody replace one themselves?

removing the whole compressor is pretty simple. just make sure all of the freon is drained out of it first.

what make you think its the compressor? it could just be low on freon.
