It has been a bit of a PITA to change, but I figured out along the way what would make it easier.

I went out and got a gauge too, but I think I will take it back since you have one and I haven't had time to use it yet. I also bought some 134a. Do you have the hookup to fill the system back up. I bought the whole kit so I could do it myself, but if you have, I will return it.

fittings, guages, vacuum pump, and bottle opener.

Takes a couple of hours to evac & recharge.

use new o rings or we'll be doing it again.
