Looks like an easy day job hoping this is the cause of mine.

[@autoguydiy4244]

Couple of hours that's about it

[@davidalonzojr8617]

What kind of freon did you use? Is your AC freezing cold? Mine is

[@autoguydiy4244]

Cheap Walmart freon

[@davidalonzojr8617]

@@autoguydiy4244 I used Arctic Freeze freon and my AC is freezing cold. I get 40 degree air on a 105 degree day in the summers.

[@autoguydiy4244]

Man thats what's up big dog. Sound like a winner to me

[@synysterkatz6911]

Do i need to empty the refrigerant out of the lines before i do this?

[@autoguydiy4244]

Yes

[@crowclaw4600]

How do you empty the lines? I gotta do one of these and i don't want to mess it up.

[@priscillathompson8826]

That's what's up blowing cold

[@autoguydiy4244]

Freezing

[@wrizzi7703]

My system has no Freon do I still have to get the system evacuated or can I just install the new ac compressor and then get it evacuated and recharge the reason being is because my pulley is stuck so I can’t move the truck and I don’t have money to tow it I just want to know so I don’t damage anything

[@autoguydiy4244]

If the ac is empty then yes just change it out

[@wrizzi7703]

@@autoguydiy4244alright thanks man where do I add the ac oil do I add it where I have to change the stud or the one where you don’t have to move the stud?

[@autoguydiy4244]

@wrizzi7703 make sure to get a compressor that is pre filled with oil

[@wrizzi7703]

@@autoguydiy4244alright yeah and where do I add the oil and after I install the compressor I have to get it recharge too right

[@wrizzi7703]

I’m doing this job because my pulley got stuck my truck has 260k miles so I don’t blame it the pulley was wobbling so it finally got stuck now it’s time to replace

[@theregotk]

how on gods earth did you get the back bolt off?

[@theregotk]

tried wd 40 and that didn’t work

[@autoguydiy4244]

Have you tried pb blaster

[@autoguydiy4244]

You need a pentrating oil. Especially if your dealing with rust

[@theregotk]

@@autoguydiy4244just bought some. gonna go back and try it. also got a breaker bar too lmao. doubt it’ll get in there tho

[@theregotk]

@@autoguydiy4244pb blaster worked… but my last bolt broke off inside. throwing away the whole truck now

[@Moment2Forever]

I just topped off my ac, luckily my compressor still working, they're expensive
