First a big thanks to @Ohiolc100 and @flintknapper for their valuable knowledge.
I will start off that this is my first time doing this and i took pics along the way so that others can benefit. As im not an expert in auto refrigeration this will not have in depth instructions but more of an overview of my progress. This was a job and anyone with basic tools will be able to do this. All the important tools are available for rent or purchase. I rented mine at AutoZone.
Tool Rental:
Vacuum Pump $160
AC Gauge $100
Leak Detection Kit/Light $100
Parts:
4Seasons Evaporator # 54941 $79
4Seasons Expansion Valve # 758888 $32
4Seasons Receiver/Dryer # 3605 $19
R134a x3 ea. $8
Black Gold Vacuum Pump Oil 1qt: $15
O-Ring Kit: $7
Cork Tape: $15
Before beginning you should have evacuated the system and it should be free of R134a.
I did not do it in these steps but if i were to do it again this would be the way to go.
Start by un-clipping these plastic connectors. I used a dart tip to push down but any sharp object will work. Remove the metal cover, two alen screws and rubber plug.
The o-rings looked dry on one side and i covered the lines to keep dirt out.
