Thanks Dave for all your input.
I absolutly want the job done right. I just completed removing the compressor (wow! any less room and the radiator or sway bar would have to come out, thankfully removing the plastic shield behind the radiator DID IT!)
Also,
1. The hose from the Dryer to Condenser is out.
2. The hose from the Compressor to Condenser is out. (wow! was it ever tight/seezed to the fitting on the Condenser, what a work-out!)
3. The Dryer is out, new one arrived.
4. The Expansion Valve is out, new one arrived.
5. Abviously the Low Pressure/Fill hose is out (the one that originaly cracked and started this mess!)
6. The rest of the hoses are just disconnectedm but not out (way too much work, will flush them the way they are installed.)
I spun the Compressor w/ Gravity and I gota say not much oil came out, approx. 0.5oz. (most of it must have leaked out while the hose at the Compressor was faulty).
Now I just have to pick up 2 more O-Rings for the one side of the Expansion Valve (Forgot), 1 O-Ring for the Switch on the Dryer, and get a refill of DRY AIR.
Then flush the Evaporator, Condenser, Compressor, plus all the lines.
I'm waiting to see the outcome, and hopefully this will end my A/C Wooes for a bit.
WOW, is Compressor Oil ever so expensive, I picked up a bottle of exactly 250ml OR 8.45oz. (funny to be exactly the amount I need for the system as per ALLDATA) for a list $72.55 (CND + 14% Sales Tax) = $82.71, (Part # 001-989-08-03) Can anyone in the US tell me what dealers there sell it for?
