Because of today's EPA regulations, you might be required to use a freon reclamation unit. Most certified HVAC technicians have that type of equipment on their vans.
You should also check EPA regulations in regard to freon and refrigeration, and especially if it's an older unit that uses freon 22. If you release the freon and get caught, you could possibly face a heavy fine.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to do this, is to go to an audio store and buy a wire harness. It should plug right into the factory plug (providing that it is still intact) and then plug into your new radio. If not, it will have ready to go wires for the harness that came with your radio.

How do you clean a 2006 Chevy trailblazer evaporator coil?
Cleaning the inside of the evaporator can be a challenge. The auto parts store can sell you a kit to flush out the evaporator and or the condenser while it is still in the vehicle. If the system is loaded with trash from a seized compressor you may never get it completely cleaned out. Recommend replacing with new parts. Cleaning the outside of the evaporator would probably require removing the unit from the vehicle and blowing it out with compressed air. Either way the system would have to be evacuated with the proper equipment.

How do you replace AC compressor bearing without removing the compressor on a 1998 chevy Silverado?
Doesn't matter - if you open up the compressor, you open up the AC system. By law, this must be done by an ASE certified technician in an EPA approved shop with the proper equipment to evacuate and store the refrigerant. This prevents refrigerant from being released into the atmosphere. Whenever the AC system is opened up, the receiver-drier (if it's a Thermal Expansion Valve system) or accumulator (if it's a Fixed Orifice Tube system) must also be replaced.
Where the Chevrolet Malibu have accumulator drier?
Front passenger side wheel well. You have to remove the plastic panels to get to it. It helps to turn the steering wheel all the way to the right for enough room to access and turn wrenches. If you are replacing the accumulator/drier with OEM part from AutoZone or O'Reilly's, make sure to get the right sized replacement O-rings. The ones that came with the new accumulator were the wrong size and caused me to buy more refrigerant and compressor oil. Take the old O-ring to a store that specializes in O-ring's. The guys at Autozone and O'Reilly's wanted to keep selling me the same wrong o-ring kit. You will need 9oz of compressor oil in addition to 28oz of Refrigerant. I filled the compressor intake hose with oil and that seemed to work fine. I started with a pin-hole leak on the high side hose and ended up replacing the hose set and accumulator.

How do you install a compressor in a home ac unit?
This is not a job for the home fix-er-upper type. There are special tools required, and special training and Federal/EPA training and testing required for refrigerant recovering and recycling. Assuming, then, that you had all of this covered, you would: make the unit safe, disable and lockout the electrical power supply, Pull the refrigerant out of the system and store for later recycling, verify there is no pressure in the system, cut the pipes with a tube cutter leading to the compressor. Remove the power leads to the compressor. Remove the compressor. Mount the new compressor, Fit up new copper pipes and solder them in with a nitrogen purge and limited flux. Connect the power leads. Put a deep vacuum on the system and check for leaks. Charge the system with the correct number of pounds/ounces of refrigerant. Start the system and test run, checking the system pressures with guages to verify proper operation. Put all the panels back on, (with ALL the screws).

1996 Geo Tracker refrigerant?
Hi, The refrigerant used has been R-12 in these older vehicles. Today, the refrigerant used is R-134a. Vehicles that are still using the older R-12 should convert to the newer R-134a. There are many places that can convert your car to the newer refrigerant. I had a car done at a local Oil Doctor but most places that advertise air conditioning service can make the change. Hope this helps and is timely for you. Steve H. you can also get a conversion kit at a local parts store like performance parts or advance or any of the chains, it cost me 35 bucks, if your system has not operated in a while you need to get a vaccuum check. if there is a leak in the compressor another 30 bucks can buy some stuff to fix it, if there is a leak in the lines, it may be as simple as a 20 cent o-ring or a new line but the fix stuff for the compressor does not fix lines just compressor leaks.
