If the steering gearbox is leaking do you have to replace the whole thing or just get the rubber seal replaced?
There are seals to be replaced but you have to know what you are doing. Normally there is a repair kit available. You should go to the parts shop and ask for the repair kit.
How do you remove the ac condenser in 2001 windstar?
4 hour job. Disconnect battery, open plastic top cover of the radiator, unscrew 2 long special bolds in both sides underneath the plastic cover and inside the rubber ring,it will let the whole set radiator / condenser moves back and forward easily. open 2 screws of the AC connection pipes (Remember the freon have to be removed before open these screws. Test the open end of the pipe make sure there is no freon pressure left). remove these 2 pipe from condenser. remove 2 headlights. Remove the front car cover (remove all bottom screws and 2 screws inside the fender, then front cover will come out) open 2 screws from the bottom of each corner of the condenser; left side open first and the right side open later. remove 2 brackets from the bottom of the condenser then it will release the condenser). take out the condenser through the front gap of the radiator and front headlight panel. Put the new one in carefully don't bend or brake the fins of condenser. put the new one in and put the bottom brackets back and reverse the procedure. connect the pipe and fill the freon. You should begin with a very small amount of freon . run the engine Max AC make sure there is no leak freon or damage condenser. complete the front cover and other parts with the reverse procedure when you open it. You should put screws and note where their location so you don't miss or lost them . There is another way to pull out the whole set AC condenser and Radiator from the bottom, but you have to get the car head up on the ram. This way is more complicate since you have to remove all pipe connected to the radiator, but it is easier to reach the condenser. I am only use this way when replace the radiator as well.

Can you replace ac condenser with smaller volume?
yes but your cooling will suffer, don't recommend it because a/c condenser is matched to balance the a/c system as a whole.
How much refrigerant does a air conditioner condenser use?
The refrigerant is for the entire air conditioner system not just for the condenser units. First, this question is not specific! There is whole bunch air conditioner condenser. Each manufacture design different condenser capacity. I might come back to this question.

How do you repair an AC compressor freeze?
That depends? Is the compressor freezing? Or is the whole condensor freezing? Well any way if the compressor is freezing try adding more refrigerant or put a crank case heater band on it. If the whole condensor is freezing (assuming it is a heat pump) throw it into cool for 10 minutes to 20 minutes or until condenser is unfrozen then call a tech and ask them to come and repair it cause your defrost board or defrost thermostat is bad.
Is freon covered under your air conditioner's warranty?
Freon is the cooling ingredient in any air conditioner. It is in what is called the sealed system and is charged into the system at the factory. The sealed system in a household a/c or central air unit. Freon doesn't evaporate or get used up so it is covered under the 5year warranty. Freon is never the cause of poor cooling that is caused by the failure of a part of the sealed system (the compressor, the condenser, the evaporator or the connecting tubing of these components. If something unnatural causes loss of freon such as unit falling out of the window etc. the warranty does not cover things like that. An important scam to watch out for is these fly by nighters who offer to check your a/c for a ridiculous low price. You should know that it is impossible for the unit to leak. Now a car a/c may need a charge of freon because the units are not sealed with silver solder but by flare connections so a slight loss of freon is possible but that's a whole different question.
Why is the passenger side dash of 1994 ford escort lx leaking profusely keeping the passenger floorboard soaked?
The heater core is leaking. The whole dash has to come out to fix it. Even master mechanics dread a heater core repair. Try some alumapowder in the radiator. Try some of this, it really works and stops leaks without plugging up the radiator.
Why is Freon hazardous?
Freon Exposure and Your Health Have you recently found out that your refrigerator or air conditioner has been leaking freon and you are concerned about the effect on your health? "Freon" is not exact a chemical. "Freon" is actually a trade name that describes a whole class of chemicals used in refrigeration. Most of the chemicals included under the trade name of "Freon" are known as "chlorofluorocarbons." This means that their chemical structure is made up of the main chemical building blocks of carbon and hydrogen, but they also include chlorine and fluorine as well. With out knowing the EXACT version of freon that was used in your refrigerator, one can only comment on the general health effects of freon as a whole. The most serious side effect of freon exposure would occur at the time of initial exposure. People who have a history of heart problems should be very concerned about Freon because it can cause cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), and palpitations at very high concentrations. For people who have a history of heart problems, being exposed to small amounts of Freon from leaking appliances should not pose any significant health risk. Fortunately, Freon does not have serious long term health consequences. It is not a carcinogen, teratogen, or mutagen, and it does not damage the liver. When it is inhaled, it is rapidly excreted by exhalation, and it is not significantly accumulated in the body. This means that breathing low concentrations of freon from a leaking refrigerator or air conditioner over a long period of time is unlikely to have a cumulative effect, and thus few, if any, long term health effects. When trying to figure out how much Freon you have been exposed to, there are several things to keep in mind. First, there is a finite amount of Freon contained in the refrigeration system, so you can't be exposed to any more than what is actually in the system. Second, Freon is about 4 times heavier than air, so it is going to sink to the floor initially, though it is highly volatile and will disperse rapidly. What this means is that the closer to the floor that you are, the more Freon you are likely to breathe in. This is a concern especially for children and pets, children because they are smaller and thus require smaller doses for acute effects to occur, and pets, especially dogs, because they are more sensitive to the heart sensitizing effects of Freon than humans are. If you discover that you have a Freon leak, contact a technician for repairs immediately. Open up windows and doors and use fans to help move the air out of the area. Remove yourself and your pets to an area of fresh air, and if you feel any unusual health effects, seek medical care. If you have chronic heart conditions, consider having your Freon containing appliances checked regularly for leaks.
