I understand that having the work done is expensive, but unless you know what you are doing or have experience with A/C's, I would pay somebody else to do it. Too many expensive parts can be broken. Do you have any A/C equipment or experience? Items such as gauges, refrigerant, tools to detach and re-attach lines to condensor, a vacuum pump, etc. will be necessary. There is a great site that may be able to help you some:
www.aircondition.com There are many experts here who will be happy to help you. I have heard from one person that you would also have to pull the radiator and fans, but another said the consensor would come out separately. I am sure somebody else will post to fill on you in better on the specifics. Good luck if youd decide to try.
