Re: Full charge after only half the freon?
About 30 ounces of R-134a does seem a little light. I think it should be around 32-38 ounces based on the R-12 spec. Did you weigh-in the charge or estimate using the small cans? If the latter, it's possible that you charged more than you thought. The pressures look pretty good now. What are the ve...

Re: New compressor hard to turn by hand
Next time buy from Tim at Arizona Mobile Air !!!
I've bought at least three compressors and an evaporator from Arizona Mobile Air for various vehicles over the past 2.5 decades. And I bought a vacuum pump from them for my work laboratory.

Not uncommon at all. Auto AC systems are designed to leak a tiny amount out of the compressor seal, to keep the shaft lubricated.tdawg46 wrote:Would it be normal to leak that amount over 15 yrs? 98 Jeep xj

Re: Oil Balance Question
Thanks for the help. I'm almost finished with getting the condenser out. Evaporator has been reinstalled under the dash. One other question I have is about the factory specification for the refrigerant amount. The sticker under the hood says 23 oz, while the service manual states the capacity as 24...
