Really bad idea... but as soon as you start studying for your test you will figure that out...

Both oil and solvent flushes are available... which I think is good due to the viscosity... to take out particles which might need to leave your system.
Then , if you want to, use Nitrogen to flush the solvent out...
All the latter are both cheaper, better, AND LEGAL to do compared to what you mentioned first....
misquote.......my bad....Brian had it right with what I meant to write....I've been studiying the A/C related archives here too long to make that mistake.

Damn guages I understood to be set up for R-12 and have R-134 adapters....turns out the hoses had the generic male ends the R-134 adapters screwed on to....so now I still need the R-12 adapters...as both my cars still have the R-12 fittings... so off to the auto parts store on my way home tomorrow to see if they have them..
