Hi,
I'm a knucklehead DIYer. Last fall I successfully replaced the
radiator on my Toyota T100 pickup.
Now I'm trying to replace the AC condenser. After several years of
slow leaks & seaonal R134a refills, I began to notice ****ny, neon
green around some of the condenser coils.
It's been quite a while since the last charge. I'm guessing there
isn't much refrigerant left.
Question(s): Can I unbolt the old condenser and pop on the new one?
Do I need new seals/gaskets? Do I need to somehow prime the new
condenser? Is there any chance there would be any refrigerant left?
Do I need to add oil into the system? Do I need other parts, or
tools?
I assume I'm in over my head, that's nothing new. But can I come out
the other side with all ten digits attached and possibly a working,
chilly AC? Summer's coming....
Oh, yeah. I bought a Silla condenser, new, that's supposed to be a
direct fit replacement, with a lifetime warranty.
