How to Replace an A/C Valve WITHOUT Recovering Refrigerant

Today I replaced the low side schrader valve on my '06 Ford F150. I used a valve core remover tool that allows for removal of the valve without major loss of refrigerant. This also means that you do not have to recover or vacuum the system, saving time and labor. This same process applies to many different makes and models.

Thanks for the info! Most informative video I've seen

[@johnb9825]

Very good video... Especially how you demontrated what was happing inside during removal & install

[@vincenttong4705]

Great instructions for a newbie like myself.

[@johnswilley6764]

Very good job there with your explanation, thank you Sir!

[@randallmontejano7787]

That's a great tool to have and great video like always señor.

[@keytothegate68]

Very nice tool. It works as a bypass. Holds the air with one valve while you remove the other

[@S-Kidz]

Thats a really cool tool.

[@matthewstorm5188]

I actually tried using this tool on my Accord about a year ago. And it was just a little bit too small to fit on the port. It DID fit on the high side port of my other car. But NOT the Accord. It’s like it was maybe 10 mils too small (or something minuscule like that). Not sure if maybe it was made out of tolerance as far as the ID. But I ended up having to send it back.

[@donaldhawkes5226]

Nice explanation thank you

[@MrGeorgeferreira]

very good explanation and video buddy..excellent.thanks

[@operationsword9457]

Got a cheap one of these. it didn't grab the shrader when unscrewed. I put a tiny dab of butyle tape on the end to pull it out and replace. Be sure to remove the butyle remnant before capping.

[@anthonyvasquez7050]

This is badass !

[@jasongraham3488]

Well done.❤

[@josenava3656]

Awesome thanks

[@jaimevargas6850]

Do you know what shraeder valve core size is for chevy Tahoe 2005?, thanks for your help 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@pjt-kl7mb]

Your showed to use the one on the top of the case for ford and after the half video you using a diferent valve ,so which one is the right for ford ??

[@fastsvo]

can this be used on the high side (R12)?

[@chriss4365]

Anyone know if all of these valves are the same size or does each vehicle have a different size schrader in the ac?

[@EmilGhiurau]

I just tried 2 different tools and none of them match the 2017 Ford Explorer. I can’t find anywhere just the tool for that model unless I get the whole kit ($500)
Do you know where I can get the tool for 2017 Ford Explorer?

[@ride856]

no purge?

[@Ochtane101]

Great video! 👍Where can you pick up that set? The tool, to remove the shraeder valve?

[@beast_0012]

Bread👍

[@roltyd22]

Will a leaking low side port cause compressor to turn on and off?

[@jimdavidson5208]

YES. Your charge is low. You have a leak. Research R-152A or canned air computer duster.

[@amino1406]

So how do you know this valve needs to be replaced?

[@lisasisk3713]

you pit a little spit on the valve and if it bubbles, it's leaking.

[@jimdavidson5208]

When yous leaks crazy.

[@randal4776]

Looks like a lotta work to me.

[@gillysmob]

ughh

[@YOUARESOFT.]

CAN I RENT THIS TOOL

[@jimdavidson5208]

NO

[@osvaldomcs1213]

Forgot to release the air from valve removal tool first. If not jus instraduced air

[@runningwater5936]

No, with the AC system pressurized, no air will enter.
