A can of refrigerant with connector and gauge can be purchased at any auto parts place. It should be very easy to do, the connector will only fit the proper fitting on the low pressure side, which on mine is connected directly to my ac compressor. However, the problem I have had is that a/c clutch and compressor has to be engaged to put contents of can into system and if the low pressure switch has shutdown the system it will not accept any charge. So I have had to get it done by a mechanic with the high dollar a/c systems. I thought I had bypassed the low pressure switch before but must not be the right one because I have had no luck doing this. Mine has been in the shop 3 times and we have replaced almost everything and can not seem to find the leak.

Open the hood and look to your left and right below the coolant reserve tank you should see a silver steel line going across the engine at the very front of the hood right by the hood latch and you will see on the left side right on this line a black cap and that is your "recharge port" for the R134A AC. hope this helps!
