I've need to charge the AC system on my 2007. I've had the compressor out of vehicle along with HP and LP lines disconnected. I kept all openings clean & covered with tape or foil. I did not drain oil from compressor and noticed about a tablespoon oil from evacuating lines into container.
FSM states; do not run engine with AC system empty. That even with AC off it can damage compressor. So this must be done without starting engine. Edited: 5/19/19 After reading up on AC systems and hearing what others had to say. We believe FSM has a misprint. That as long as AC not turned on engaging magnetic clutch, engine can be run.
I need a step by step with tool and materials:
AC manifold. I have one from HF.
Vacuum pump, which pump and CFM?
Valve needed to hook up manifold to pump?
Valve needed to hook up manifold to a can of refrigerant?
Which oil?
Which refrigerant?
How to do this step by step?
Anyone have some experience that can lay this out for me, or point me to a step by step for the 100 series?
Thanks guys.
