1992LexusOwner Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Wanted to take the time out to thank everyone for all the great posts.. I have a compressor on a 1992 SC400 that is need of replacing, due to leaking die and not holding freon. It has been retrofitted from R-12 to 134A. I have several questions. Where can I get a great deal on a new one or reman? Is it better to buy a new one? How hard is it to replace? What else do I need to do or replace while in there? Do I need to clean anything or pay any particular attention to? Once replaced, how can I pull a vaccuum on the unit to check for leaks? Can someone give me step by steps instructions, or lead me to a link that does? To give an idea on my mechanic skills, I replaced the timing belt, water pump, seals, caps, plugs, etc... myself. I know mechanics, but A/C work is not my favorite... Thanks for all your help! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
