Q: alright!!! for now... i am finally cool! can i really expect this bliss to last probably not i added about half a can and the a/c works great. i guess if i have a leak it will stop working. i also guess that if the leak is slow enough i will have saved myself about 1500 bucks thanks to you guys and your patience. .

yup works for me also and doesnt cost anyway near big bucks. big al wrote a $1000 you got to be kidding. be resourceful and it will not even cost $100. yes if you are going ot follow the law then buy the recovery system but i find that most a/c is discharged anyway when it needs work and if you have to discharge a little of what is left then just close your eyes and do it. been doing this for years. my recovery system is a tub of ice and a freon cylinder. yes its slow. yes it does not remove every bit of freon. but it does get all the liquid so youre not releasing much. as far as a vacuum pump. i use an old refrigerator compressor. they way you get the moisture out is you pull a vacuum. wait to see if it leaks. might have to do this a few times as freon hides in the oil and takes a while to come out. then you add a bit of nitrogen about 3 psi. wait a while and pull vacuum again. the nitrogen will get the moisture out. while youre pulling vacuum the last time heat the receiver/dryer with a hair dryer. before you ask we have race cars that we use nitrogen to control the throttle so we always have it. but its not hard to get and if the system has not been exposed to air a long time you can skip using it. al .

drum. success! i am know ready to tackle any rear brake job that comes my way. were you able to determine what it was hung up on before re-assembling wire-brush off the rust on the hub and use a light coat of anti-sieze around it. this will make removal next time a bit easier. what kept the drums from coming off was the pressure of the brake shoes against the drum. once i turned the adjuster the wrong way i was never really able to fully turn the adjuster the opposite direction to retract the brake shoes. regards bill .
