[s-cars] AC Recharge

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

 It also isn't that difficult to charge the system through the high side port, if you have the correct equipment.  If you're trying to charge with the little cans, forget it.

However, if you have the tools to evacuate the system properly, are charging with a "keg" and have a refrigerant scale, it is fairly easy.  The evacuated system will draw in the majority of the charge.  Towards the end of charging, you will likely have to use a heat gun to warm the refrigerant keg a bit to get the pressure required to top off the system.

Using this method is done WITH THE CAR OFF!

Nice post on it here:

Basically, there is no low-side port.  You can remove the low pressure

switch, convert the port, then jumper the switch to keep the

compressor on.  The high-side is the easy one to get to.
