I'm changing the high-side temp sensor and, well, it's full of refrigerant. How do I get it [the refrigerant] out safely or temporarily stop the flow so I don't get hosed? hthorn 04-28-08, 09:10 PM Doubtful...Without the proper equipment, such a DIY job, IMHO, is not advisable. It may be cheaper in the long run to take it to a reputable AC shop, and ask them for a quote...if you try it and get hosed you'll just end up paying twice as much. It looks simple, but it can get complicated so fast... Ranger 04-28-08, 10:10 PM It has to be evacuated and captured with the proper equipment. | |
