I made some progress on Betty’s air conditioning system this afternoon. A/C work is a little unfamiliar to me. Everything has to be kept sealed, since air contaminates the components. Getting the compressor bolted in place is a two person job as far as I can tell. I tried until I was tired; I think it is impossible to hold that heavy-ass thing and get the bolts started by yourself. Getting the block plate off the back of the compressor was a bit exciting. As I removed myself from underneath the car to get a pry tool, it busted apart, spraying green oil all over the place. I didn’t realize it would be under that kind of pressure; good thing my head wasn’t under it when that happened. Everything else was pretty uneventful, just time consuming. I replaced the expansion valve, receiver/dryer and pressure switch. I did brake the temperature switch, so that is another $20. I should have already bought a new one anyway. One of the Schrader valves is leaking, so I’m going to replace that before I put a charge on the system.
