    Default How hard (air con removal)

    How hard is it to remove the air con from one car and put it in another?

    Should i give it a crack or just leave it alone?

    if i was you i would get it degassed by a profesional swaping them over is not that hard but make sure u use some spray lube when putting it all back together and replace the orings on any pipes and hoses you disconnect to make sure that it does not leak

    No, it won't blow up, but it is highly illegal to release the gas into the atmosphere. Also if I remember correctly if you get any of the gas on you, you can get some nasty freeze burns.
