Okay, my A/C hose guy has ordered the (hopefully) correct fittings and has the measurements he needs to make a replacement dis-charge hose.
He has whatever I need to replace the low-side R134a valve/inlet/place-you-hook-the-gauge thingie.
I intend to go ahead and get the 38904 variable-orifice-valve so it will feel like hog-killing weather in July.
So..........., let's pretend I have screwed on all of my new goodies.
Now......, I connect to the vacuum-pump and pull a vacuum for how long ??
Will I have sucked out all of my compressor-oil ??
If I need to add oil, what do I need buy and how much do I need ??
Does the oil gravity-feed in, or is it sucked in by the reversal of the vacuum ??
I only know enough about this to get myself in over my head.
Thanks.
