Have patience, I've not tackled anything related to air conditioning before.

 

Do I simply put on goggles and loosen the nut on the condenser outlet? And when recharging how do I know when preasure is correct? Is there a guage I can put on the low side fitting?

Well, you could do that...but that is environmentally irresponsible. It's actually is illegal in most places. I would suggest taking it to a shop, they hook up recovery equipment to suck it all out. Shouldn't cost very much just to have it dishcarged. I worked in the HVAC business for a while...atleast commercially there are very large fines for dishcarging freon in to the atmosphere (air).

I'm not one to pollute so thanks for the info. Although I was under the impression the newer (134a) systems were friendly. Is this not the case?

Sorry, I was thinking the older stuff. I'd still have a shop do it, or atleast talk with one before cranking open the nob.
