Any tools that were not basic or improvised? etc
- nope, but the ratchet end open end tool 13mm is essential to get out the one mounting bolt
Did you use a hose clamp tool? Good to have or essential?
- Nope, used a vise grips to take off the top radiator hose
How many skinned knuckles etc?
- None on the this job for some reason, did have a helper
How much time for the R&R?
- We took our time on this one, had a few beers doing research, etc
- Researched to see if we could remove and replace clutch in place, but gave up early on this.
Need new drier?
- I did not put one in, there was good pressure in system, etc. Why would I need one? Not an AC Expert.
You will evac and charge yourself?
- Yes, have an AC manifold from Harbor Freight works great.
Need any new seals for hose connection to compressor?
- I did not put new ones in since good pressure in system and system never leaked. Will see in the future....
