Hi guys. A while ago when I replaced the alt belt, I accidentally undid the a/c line underneath (stupid, but this is how we learn). I got a nice blast of refrigerant and I assume the whole system is now voided. Will I have to take this to a professional for a machine job or will a few cans of recharge stuff take care of it? Should I pressure check first to gauge?
Thanks in advance! This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Jun 14, 2016 - 11:35 AM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

ya you can double-check the oil, but if you're changing the compressor out, you can buy one preoiled like a denso brand.
