    I am a little old, so I'm gonna say it, It's more pleasurable to work with a little table. They make stackable tables, like Those stackable outdoor chairs, that are light and strong . Good video!

    Spring update!!!! It finally got warm enough to test the AC under real conditions and she's blowing very cold air!!! "I love it when a plan comes together!"

      I just used my gauge set to troubleshoot my grandson’s Corolla. We replaced the clutch but it didn’t get cold… adding another pound of refrigerant got it down to 45 degrees… it needs just a bit more to be perfect! It should get down to 40 or below!
      The low side should be around 35 psi and the high around 200psi.
      Thanks for watching!

    I am referring to the piece you installed at the end of the tube when you cut the high pressure size, on 13.06 you are holding in your hands. I need that part

    Had a question about the wiring switch that connects to the accumulator, on my 99 Chevy Astro one goes to the accumulator, and I have another that splits from that one that somehow has gotten disconnected and I cannot find out where it goes. Is their a connector on the firewall or where does the other switch connect to?

    what is the name of the kit you got on ebay(compressor fitting block off you said it cost about 40 dollar a piece) that is what I need to do the same thing you did.

    Did you take the refrigerant out first?

      not sure what fittings you mean... the car has capped off fittings installed as all AC systems have. they allow testing of the system. The rest of the kit I got on ebay pretty cheap... don't remember exactly how much
