air conditioning parts

97 Jimmy

Well, I've got a massive leak from the belly of the compressor.

Looks like I'll be replacing the compressor, orifice tube, and accumulator. I think I'm gonna tackle it myself.

any advice on parts? brands? where to buy? should I buy another HT6 or something else?

do stores rent vacuum pumps?

any tips on flushing? solvent recommendations? methods? flush gun?


any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

A lot of parts places now handle new compressors.
Stay away from Murry and cheap rebuilt stuff.

Not sure on the rental stuff but check around.
AZ has a lot of loaner/rental tools.
Here is some stuff you might need.

If system is clean and compressor has not blowed you may not need flush.

But if a lot of oil has leaked out of system a flush may be good to get the rest of oil out and the correct amount in.
But for flush info ACkits.com has a lot of info and parts to.

Good Luck
