hello everyone. quick question. my a/c problems were found to be a bad compressor. is this something i can change on my own? is it under pressure? are used/rebuilt compressors recommended? and do i need to replace the belt?

i've done alot of repairs but never on an a/c system - a little nervous. thanks.

Since you are asking these questions I will assume that you are not certified to repair air conditioners. If you are not certified it is a federal offense that carries a $10000
fine. I would recommend a Dealer or reputable repair facility.
Good Luck
