legal way: drive to local aircon place. ask them to degas aircon. hand over keys. come back after however long they tell you.

the job itself should only take about 5 mins, but depends on how busy you are. as to how much they charge i wouldn't know, but it shouldn't be too much.

shouldnt cost much, they will suck it out with a recovery pump into a bottle of waste R134a Refrigerant.... if your planning on removing air con lines and such you will need a new reciever drier when you put it all back together

ahhh shit lol.... it been to long since ive been taught air con systems

I googled it for you cause I wanted to remember what it does as well...

RECEIVER-DRIER

The receiver-drier is used on the high side of systems that use a thermal expansion valve. This type of metering valve requires liquid refrigerant. To ensure that the valve gets liquid refrigerant, a receiver is used. The primary function of the receiver-drier is to separate gas and liquid. The secondary purpose is to remove moisture and filter out dirt.

Air Con Information

So basically its for the secondary reason that you must replace it because it will absorb alot of moisture from atmosphere when it is disconnected from the system.

    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A  
    • Piggaz had one and broke it at 470kw
