You have it done by an ASE certified tech in an EPA certified shop which has the equipment necessary to recover, store, and recycle refrigerant. Releasing it into the atmosphere is prohibited by federal law.

Can you replace the bearing in air conditioning compressor?

You may have to replace the entire compressor. Either way, it'll involve disconnecting and dismounting the compressor, and you legally cannot do this on your own. It must be an ASE certified tech who does this, and the shop which does the work must be EPA certified and have approved equipment, as they must evacuate refrigerant out of the system and prevent its release into the air. When the air conditioning system is opened up like that, the receiver-drier (if it's a thermal expansion valve system) or accumulator (if it's a fixed orifice tube system) will also have to be replaced.


Should you drain refrigerant and then refill on 97 jimmy?

No, not unless you have the right tools and training to refill it properly. You must evacuate the system before you can refill it; that requires special machines. Contrary to popular belief you cannot back-fill the system using the compressor to evacuate it.


How to replace the air conditioning seals?

It involves evacuating the refrigerant out of the system, and you'll have to open up the system, which also means that the receiver-drier (on a Thermal Expansion Valve system) or accumulator (on a Fixed Orifice Tube system) will need to be replaced. Legally, you cannot do this on your own. An ASE certified tech in an EPA certified shop with the equipment to evacuate, store, and recycle refrigerant must do this in order to ensure both that it's done correctly and that refrigerant isn't released into the atmosphere.
